Abstract

Ablution is the cleanliness activity among Muslims before doing the ritual activity that involved with washing the several parts of the human body. The latest system that used to perform ablutions is by taps water and for outdoor activities, usually using a spray bottle. However, some problems have been found as high levels of water wastage when using manual taps water, resolutions at a place that gives problems to users and the difficulties faced by consumers when doing outdoor activities if using a spray bottle. So, developments of portable water saving able to resolve difficulties and water wasting problem and enabling ablution activities to be performed in anywhere. The project was started by surveying at around Masjid Al-Kauthar at Maran, Pahang by collecting data from 30 respondents and the result had analysed using House of Quality (HOQ) for finding the product requirement. After that, the product requirement received has been referred for sketching 3 the design idea and had analysed all the sketches using Pugh Matrix for selecting the best design. For detailed dimension and Bill of Material (BOM), detail and exploded drawing was prepared for more specific about the product. The project is proceeding to development stage that occur by measuring, marking, cutting, prototyping and electronic system development. The development of portable saving water ablution system is occurring by making it with mist nozzle that replaced the normal pipe nozzle and enable to saving more water against normal output. The design of this project is technically to save water by converting strong flow of water to become mist and it is also controlling the mist flow by applying sensor. Moreover, its user-friendly properties and material used can make people easier to deal with it. Furthermore, finished product had analysed according to water mass flow rate and time analysis against water usage. From the analysis stage, it is shown the product enable to produce a low water flow rate, which is 0.079 L/min which can reduce until 94% of water used and ability to control the output, the reducing on unnecessary water flow until 40% could be occurring. According to the ability of a product and analysis result which is 94 ml of average water used on 1 cycle ablution, the product could serve until 32 persons per 3L for ablution. So, it shows the product able to save more water and suitable for mass application.
