Abstract
This study sought to address the issue of limited access to clean drinking water in Nigeria and was focused on enhancing the acceptability and sustainability in the use of ceramic water filters through a user-centered redesign approach. Despite their effectiveness, low adoption rates of the filters necessitate a deeper understanding of user preferences and needs and how these impact the sustained use of the filters. The Research methods include drawing feedback from social surveys on filter users to propose and execute design improvements on aesthetics, material, and functionality. The findings reveal that consumers prioritize both ergonomics and aesthetic appeal, emphasizing the significance of aesthetics and functionality in influencing users' willingness to adopt the filters. By integrating user-centered design principles, this research aimed to contribute to improved water quality and public health in Nigeria.
