    The problem of wastewater is due to the inefficient management where its main problem is how to return these waters to their natural channel. Therefore, the research is based on assembling system of the filter which consists on obtaining the coconut’s processed material in an artisanal way for obtaining the fiber and later to get into a drying process. Once the fiber is obtained it is made in a manual way. The filter which has a metallic structure has a height of 2m x 1m of base where a 55 gallon tank is supported, a plastic recipient of 35 liters where filtering material is set, in this case the coconuts fiber, and its calibration period is from 20 to 25 days, using the INEN 21691-21761 where the management and the sampling are done with the objective of obtaining reliable results. Through its functioning it is proceeded to analyze the biological demand of oxygen in five days, the chemical demand of oxygen and total solids, for this, it will be taken 1 raw sample, this one will let to obtain a data base to start the filtration process, later it will continue with the sampling process during a period of 90 days with 9 samples each 10 days; these results will let us to determine the effectiveness of the filtering material comparing with Tulsma validation. Once fulfilled all stages of the filtering process and according to the results obtained it is concluded that the filtering material reduces in a great percentage the contamination of total solids (35.09%)) of the wastewater as well as in a minor percentage the DBO5 (94.30%)) and DQO (87.76%), taken into a count as a base line the allowed parameters.
