Efforts to enhance the performance of simple filtration systems have been continuously developed, one of which involves modifying the flow path within the filter. This study aims to evaluate the effect of incorporating a horizontal section into the filter pipe on its ability to reduce turbidity and Total Suspended Solids (TSS). The study was conducted using an experimental approach by comparing a vertikal pipe filter with a U-shaped pipe filter featuring variations in horizontal pipe length. The performance of each filter configuration was evaluated based on its effectiveness in reducing turbidity and TSS, and by determining the relative performance index to assess differences in filtration efficiency between configurations. The results indicate that the addition of a horizontal section to the filter pipe significantly enhances filtration efficiency. An increase in the horizontal pipe length corresponds to greater reductions in turbidity and TSS. The U-shaped pipe filter outperformed the vertikal pipe filter, achieving relative performance indices of 1.7 for turbidity reduction and 1.9 for TSS reduction. The higher performance indices observed for the U-shaped filter suggest that flow path modification in the form of a U-shaped configuration is more effective in removing suspended particles with relatively larger mass, indicating its potential application as a more efficient alternative design for simple filtration systems
