UNUSA-Water as Water Filters Available at Pesantren Nahdlatus Syubban in Pontianak: A Solution for Clear, Iron-Containing Water

Pesantren Nahdlatus Syubban is an Islamic educational institution established in 1984 and located on Jalan Apel Gang Apel VII, Sungai Jawi Luar Village, West Pontianak District, Pontianak City, West Kalimantan. It was founded by K.H. A. Rustamadji, an alumnus of a major Islamic boarding school in East Java, with the aim of fostering the local community in Qur'anic studies and comprehensive Islamic religious education. The installation of the UNUSA-Water as water filter at the Pesantren Nahdlatus Syubban Pontianak is a crucial step in providing clean water for all residents. Given the geographical conditions that cause high iron content in the groundwater, the presence of this filter significantly helps address this problem. Water that was previously cloudy and smelled of iron is now clear, clean, and safe for daily use. This program represents a true collaboration between UNUSA, ZISWAF CTARSA, and Bank Mega Syariah, which is committed to providing appropriate technological solutions to improve the quality of life of the Islamic boarding school community.

UNUSA-Water's water filter utilizes modern technology that optimally filters iron without removing essential minerals from the water. The treatment process utilizes cutting-edge methods that not only remove the color and odor of iron but also ensure the water remains healthy and hygienic. This is crucial, considering that water is a basic necessity vital for daily activities, from cooking and to personal hygiene for students and teaching staff. With this water filter, not only health is maintained, but learning and worship activities at the Islamic boarding school are also more comfortable and conducive.

In addition to improving water quality, the installation of the UNUSA-Water filter at the Pesantren Nahdlatus Syubban also serves as an important educational step for the students and administrators. They are given an understanding of the importance of maintaining water quality and how technology can be utilized to address everyday environmental issues. This program is expected to serve as an example for other educational institutions and communities in Pontianak in managing water resources more effectively and sustainably. This awareness is crucial for the long-term success of this technology and encourages environmental conservation efforts around the Islamic boarding school.

With the availability of clean water processed by the UNUSA-Water filter, the Pesantren Nahdlatus Syubban is optimistic about being able to provide a healthier and safer environment for all students. The successful installation of this system also demonstrates real support for the vision of improving the quality of education and community life based on Islamic values. The Islamic boarding school also hopes that this innovation can be further developed and adopted by other communities facing similar challenges. Overall, this initiative is not only a technical solution, but also a strategic step towards realizing a superior Islamic boarding school that cares about the health and well-being of its congregation.
