Halving the proportion of the people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation is among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Lack of access to safe drinking water has been associated with the prevalence of waterborne diseases. Due to this reported association, the development of household water treatment devices has been an alternative to improve the quality supply of domestic water. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the performance of a ceramic silver-impregnated pot filter (CSF) system coupled with an adsorption process, composed of silver-impregnated granular activated carbon and zeolite (CSF + GAC-Z), to remove waterborne bacteria  Escherichia coli  and  Salmonella  spp. from spiked water. The performance of this system was compared with the conventional CSF system. In this respect, we evaluated six CSF and six CSF + GAC-Z using spiked water with 10 3  and 10 2  CFU/mL of  E. coli  and  Salmonella  spp. The mean percentage of removals ranged between 98% and 99.98%. The highest bacterial removal efficiency was recorded by the CSF + GAC-Z (99%) and CSF (99.98%) for  E. coli  and  Salmonella  spp., respectively, but no significant statistical differences were found between filtration systems. Our findings suggest that the CSF + GAC-Z system was effective in the removal of waterborne bacteria from spiked water.
