The ceramic industry is known to generate large amounts of wastes each year. So far a huge part is used in landfills. Reusing these wastes in water filtration could be a profitable and eco-friendly aspect. The project focuses on the improving the quality of water by using the ceramic layer in the filter medium and to obtain an optimal Hydraulic Conductivity for the filter medium. For the determination of water quality, four tests have been assessed which are pH, Turbidity, Dissolved Oxygen, and Total Dissolved Solids. Four Samples of Filtered water are examined with the different ceramic concentration of 0, 12.5, 25 and 40 percentage in the filter medium of the water purifier in each case and the Hydraulic Conductivity with the addition of ceramic is tested in Constant Permeability Head Apparatus. Test results have shown with the addition of ceramic, the quality of water has been improved under low temperature and an optimum value of Hydraulic Conductivity is obtained under the desired range for a filter medium of a water purifier.
