     Introduction

     This statement on Schedule 13D reflects the conversion by
Alcoa Securities Corporation, a Delaware corporation ("Alcoa
Securities"), of 880,000 shares (the "Preferred Shares") of 
Series A Voting Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock, par 
value $.01 per share ("Series A Preferred Stock") of United 
States Filter Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the 
"Issuer") into 1,320,000 shares of Common Stock of the Issuer 
(the "Common Stock").  Alcoa Securities is a wholly-owned 
subsidiary of Aluminum Company of America, a Pennsylvania 
corporation ("Alcoa").  Alcoa Securities is, therefore, 
directly controlled by Alcoa.  Alcoa Securities and Alcoa 
are sometimes hereinafter collectively referred to as the 
"Reporting Companies."  As a result of the conversion, the 
Reporting Companies ceased to be the beneficial owner of the 
Preferred Shares and do not beneficially own more than five 
percent of the Common Stock.  The conversion took place in 
accordance with the original terms of the Series A Preferred 
Stock.

     The Reporting Companies hereby amend their report on 
Schedule 13D dated January 6, 1992 as follows:

     Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer

     Item 5 is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as
follows:

     a. and b.  The Reporting Companies acquired on January 6, 
1992, a total of 880,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock of 
the Issuer, representing 100% of the issued and outstanding 
shares of Series A Preferred Stock and approximately 16.10% of 
all outstanding capital stock of the Issuer at that time.   
On February 28, 1996, the Reporting Companies converted the 
Preferred Shares into shares of Common Stock.  The shares of 
Common Stock represent approximately 4.9% of the outstanding 
shares of Common Stock of the Issuer.
     c.  The Reporting Companies, on February 28, 1996, con-
verted 880,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock into
1,320,000 shares of Common Stock.
     d.  Not applicable
     e.  The Reporting Companies ceased to be the beneficial
owner of more than five percent of the Common Stock on
February 28, 1996.
