Background: Among the various adverse pollutants in water, coliform bacteria and arsenic are very important. Drinking of arseniccontaminated water has become a serious threat to public health and has affected millions of people across the world. Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the removal of arsenic and coliform bacteria from drinking water in small communities with the use of a conventional Slow Sand Filter (SSF) and modified filter by slag (SMF) and Zeolite (ZMF). Methods: In this study, initial concentrations of arsenic were 0.073, 0.11, 0.171, 0.21, 0.24, and 0.33 mg/l and the initial number of coliform bacteria was 4*10 6 MPN/100 mL. Arsenic and coliform bacteria samples were taken every 24 and 48 hours, respectively.
