Procedure
Stagger preparation of each dilution by several minutes to allow enough time for accurate
analysis of FAC at each dilution. FAC readings should be taken at the following times: T = 0,
30 minutes, 60 minutes, and 90 minutes. Readings beyond 90 minutes are determined by
interpretation of data from the first 90 minutes.
• Accurately measure the volume (mL) of calculated sample water and place in a
glass jar.
• Accurately measure the volume (mL) of oxidant required.
• Add oxidant to sample water jar and swirl briefly to mix.
• Immediately measure and record the FAC concentration and time the reading is
taken (time = 0).
• Repeat the above steps for the other dilutions, measure each at time = 0 before
preparing the next dilution, and then take FAC readings at 30, 60, and 90 minutes.
Generate a table similar to the one given in the example below.
Example:
Fill out the table properly and completely. The oxidant solution must be diluted to 1 ppm, 3
ppm, and 5 ppm doses as determined in the previous example. The FAC residual is
measured in 30-minute intervals until the chart is filled out as below (measurements are
based on assumed tests for this example):
