The sample of Reverse Osmosis (RO) water at Kuala Perlis was also taken for testing. All the sample of drinking water were tested in situ and ex situ for selected parameter. In situ parameters measured are temperature, pH, nitrate (NO3 −), turbidity and Total Dissolves Solid (TDS). The parameters for ex situ are Total Coliform, E.coli, Zinc (Zn), Chromium (Cr 6+ ) and Manganese (Mn). Most of the testing procedures carried out for this research followed the Standard Method for the Examination of Water and Wastewater, American Public Health Association (APHA).
