The availability of clean water in peat areas is limited, for the color of the water in these areas are having some shade of dark brown, the content of organic matter is high, but has a level of acidity (pH), thus making the peat water not fit for consumption and a treatment is needed in advance to use the water suitable for daily use. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the ability of the filter media with a variety of chicken egg shell thickness of 20 cm, 30 cm and 40 cm to increases of pH level of peat water. The use of debit inlet in this matter is 8,3 x 10-3 m3/h and is repeated 2 times (Duplo) on trial. Peat water test results prior to the processing of pH is 4.63 and doesn’t fullfil the quality standard of PERMENKES (minister of health regulation) No. 32 of 2017. The best results were obtained for pH of 4.63 becomes 7.78 with 40.45% efficiency. Optimum results obtained at a thickness of 20 cm filter media has been able to increase pH become 7,31.Keywords: Peat water, Chicken Egg Shells, Filtration Abstrak Ketersediaan air bersih menjadi terbatas pada wilayah dengan jenis tanah gambut yang memiliki air berwarna merah kecoklatan, kandungan zat organik yang tinggi, namun mempunyai derajat keasaman (pH) yang relatif rendah sehingga membuat air gambut tidak layak konsumsi dan diperlukan pengolahan sebelum menggunakan air tersebut. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis kemampuan media filter cangkang telur ayam dengan variasi ketebalan 20 cm, 30 cm dan 40 cm dalam meningkatkan pH pada air gambut. Debit inlet yang digunakan yaitu 8,3 x 10-3 m3/jam. Dilakukan pengulangan sebanyak 2 kali (duplo) pada percobaan. Hasil uji air gambut sebelum pengolahan untuk pH sebesar 4,63 dan tidak memenuhi baku mutu PERMENKES No 32 Tahun 2017. Hasil terbaik yang diperoleh untuk pH 4,63 menjadi 7,78 dengan ketebalan 40 cm dengan efisiensi sebesar 40,45%. Hasil optimal diperoleh pada ketebalan media filter 20 cm telah dapat meningkatkan pH menjadi 7,31.Kata Kunci: Air Gambut, Cangkang Telur Ayam, Filtrasi
