Access to clean water is one of Indonesia's biggest problems. The fact PDAM's piped water is accessible to 30.8 percent of households in the country's cities and only 9 percent in its villages. One of the solutions is Tabung Pengolah Air Bersih (TPAB). It is portable equipment that can produce clean water using simple and applicable technology on producing clean water, so that Indonesian society can use that equipment independently. The aim of this research is to know the TPAB performance in producing clean water and comparing with jar test process. TPAB is made from fiber glass with 60 L maximal capacity. To produce clean water using TAB take time 10-15 minutes. The fundamental principal of TPAB is the same with water treatment at PDAM that consist of coagulationflocculation, sedimentation, filtration and disinfection process. TPAB is adding three kinds of chemical. There are Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC), sodium carbonate and chlorine. Doses of each chemical depend on visual condition (color) of raw water. If raw water is more colored, higher dose of chemical will be used. In This research, jar test valuation and the performance of TPAB is observe based on six parameters: turbidity, color, pH, Fe, detergent and organic compound value, all parameters will be comparing with clean water standard No: 416/MENKES/Per/IX/1999. Jar test process and TPAB can produce clean water with lower value than clean water standard for each parameter and percent removal efficiency for TPAB process create good percent removal value.
