300 _aWater pollution is a perennial, serious problem that the global community continues to face. It negatively impacts on the society affecting the health of the world`s population and economy of every country. Many inventions and methods of the world`s population and the economy of every country. Many inventions and methods were employed to minimize the effects and lessen the percentage of contaminated bodies of water. The most common innovation that has been internationally used are water purifiers which are commonly composed of sediments, papers, pebbles, sand and charcoals. This study utilizes peels of the banana fruit as a component of a water filter. Bananas have been proven to have medicinal properties as it is used in various ailments and health-related problems. Based on these proven medical properties, this research focuses on the identifying whether banana peels could be effective in purifing the water from bacteria specifically Musa sapientum (Latundan Banana) can make water potable through the process of filtration. The peels were dried for two (2) days and then chopped into pieces. A paper filter was put at the bottom of the strainer and the banana peels were put at the top. Water was poured inside the strainer only once and then collected directly by a jar underneath. Different setups had different amounts of banana peels. They are 10 grams, 15 grams and 20 grams respectively in each setup which underwent 3 trials each. The samples were brought to a water testing lab in Trece Martines, Cavite including the unpurified water sample from a chosen stream in Silang, Cavite. The water samples were tested for their portability in comparison to the amount of Coliform present in the water sample. The results of the test done on the water samples show that the banana peels were not effective in making the stream water potable. All water samples had high amounts of Coliform and Fecal Coliform. The research concludes that banana peels in amounts of 10 grams, 15 grams and 20 grams cannot purify water from Coliform and Feall Coliform and therefore cannot make potable.
