Sample Collection, Storage, and Preservation
Collect samples in clean, dry glass containers. If sampling from a tap, allow the
water to flow at least 5 minutes to ensure a representative sample. Avoid
excessive agitation and exposure to sunlight when sampling. Allow several
volumes of water to overflow the container and cap the container so there is no
headspace above the sample. If sampling with a DR cell, rinse the cell several
times with the sample, then carefully fill to the 10-mL mark. Proceed with the
analysis immediately.

Summary of Method
Bromine residuals reacts with DPD (N,N-diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) to form a
pink color which is proportional to the total bromine concentration. Test results
are measured at 530 nm.
