| description | The World Health Organization (WHO) proposes domestic water treatment as an effective means that contributes greatly to the improvement of water quality in rural areas. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the removal efficiency of two domestic water treatment systems that correspond to the ceramic pot filter and ceramic candle filter under two maintenance conditions. Natural water from the underground well of the University of Boyacá was used, and the evaluated parameters were turbidity, total coliforms, E. coli pH, conductivity, color and the filtration rate. The evaluation time was 46 days, each filter was fed daily with a volume of 7.5 L. The results showed that on the days of the cleaning activities, peaks in turbidity were generated; The filters without maintenance had an effluent with lower values of this parameter with respect to the systems with maintenance. Additionally, the efficiency of these systems for the removal of E. coli was verified. The variation in the filtration rate significantly influences the degree of sustainability of the systems, with maintenance being one of the incident factors, for this reason it is recommended to be carried out weekly, in order to avoid clogging of the pores in both filtration systems. |

La Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS) propone el tratamiento doméstico del agua como un medio efectivo que contribuye en gran medida al mejoramiento de la calidad del agua en las zonas rurales. El propósito de este estudio fue evaluar la eficiencia de remoción de dos sistemas de tratamiento doméstico del agua que corresponden al filtro de olla cerámica y filtro de vela cerámica bajo dos condiciones de mantenimiento. Se empleó agua natural proveniente del pozo subterráneo de la Universidad de Boyacá. Los parámetros evaluados fueron la turbiedad, coliformes totales, E.coli, pH, conductividad, color y la tasa de filtración. El tiempo de evaluación fue de 46 días, cada filtro fue alimentado diariamente con un volumen de 7,5 l. Los resultados mostraron que en los días de las actividades de limpieza se generaban picos en la turbiedad; los filtros sin mantenimiento mantuvieron un efluente con menores valores de este parámetro con respecto a los sistemas con mantenimiento. Adicionalmente, se comprobó la eficiencia de estos sistemas para la remoción E.coli. La variación de la tasa de filtración influye significativamente en el grado de sostenibilidad de los sistemas, siendo el mantenimiento uno de los factores incidentes, por tal razón se recomienda que se debe realizar semanalmente, siendo este un mantenimiento preventivo para evitar la colmatación de los poros en ambos sistemas de filtración.
