HUBUNGAN SUMBER AIR BAKU DENGAN PH DAN TOTAL DISOLVED SOLID (TDS) AIR MINUM YANG BERSUMBER DARI DEPOT AIR MINUM ISI ULANG KOTA JAMBI

Abstract

ABSTRACT

Background: Increased drinking water needs of the community will also encourage the growing popularity of the use of drinking water depots Refill (DAMIU). One indicator of the quality of potable water such as pH and TDS. Source of raw water from the depot may be related to the pH and TDS. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the source of raw water with pH and TDS of drinking water that comes from drinking water refill depot in the city of Jambi.

Method: This study is an observational study,PH and TDS examination of 93 drinking water refill drinking water depot in the city of Jambi. Information from the raw water source depot obtained through interviews. The data were tested using the testChi-Square.

Results: Raw source of drinking water refill depot in the city of Jambi generally derived from tap water (41.9%), with a pH in the unfavorable category as much as 78.5%, TDS in both categories as much as 92.5%. The statistical test of the relationship between the raw source water with a pH of the water that comes out of refill drinking water depot in the city of Jambi shows the P value 0.650 and the relationship between the raw source water with a TDS indicates P value 0.126.

Conclusion: There was no relationship between the raw source water with pH and TDS water from drinking water refill depot in the city of Jambi.
