Drinking water, Water Purification Systems, WHO standardAbstract
This study was investigated the quality of drinking water supplied in Some Commercial Water Purification Systems at Sabratha area. Water samples were collected from five stations at Sabratha region. The physicochemical parameters were mainly, pH, Alkalinity, Chloride, Nitrate, Sulfate, Magnesium, Calcium, Sodium, Potassium and TDS. The result shows that all these parameters were fall below WHO guidelines, except pH. The bacteriological result revealed that one of the studied stations was contaminated by E. coli bacteria.

As with all drinking water supplies, desalinated drinking water production should strive to utilize the best available source water. The desalination plants should be located away from sewage discharge wells.
Some specific recommendations include:
1. WHO guidelines standards should be applied to systems in Desalination plant.
2. Water sources used for desalinated should be check biological parameters before treated to reach microbial quality goals set on the basis of raw water contamination and risk reduction
