  Do you multiply 24hrs x days to get hrs and then divide by 60 to get minutes

• 
  @TheWaterSifuКүн бұрын

  Hey Pedro... No. To go from days to minutes you multiply days x 24, because there are 24 hours in a day, and then you MULTIPLY that by 60, because there are 60 minutes in an hour. So... 1 day = 24 hours, = 1440 minutes. Hope that helps.

  Thank you for all the informative videos! We have a rule at my district that we cannot take a coliform sample unless the free chlorine residual is above .20 mg/L. Since the bottles have sodium thiosulfate in them, does the free chlorine residual even matter? I had been taught one way but now I'm starting to wonder. Thanks again for all you do! Your videos are so helpful and easy to understand

• 
  @TheWaterSifu4 ай бұрын

  That's a fun question. Thanks for it. We do always take a chlorine residual when drawing a sample, but I can't see the thiosulfate "ruining" the result be the reason at all. I think it's just extra helpful information in the case of an actual positive. For one, opposed to what we always hear and see on exams, you can have a residual below a .20 mg/l in a water system. The requirements are actually way more complicated than "a sample can never be below .20 or its a violation". Also, when you do have an actual outbreak, it can totally kill residual in a system. If the sodium thiosulfate made the grab sample mute, how would you test that area of the system?

•

  Very good video. I love your teaching method. Q. would it be a problem to dose ammonia into the storage tank, that is currently being used for cl2 burn out? With a residual of 2.0. I would think I can dose by pounds formula and add the right amount of nh3 to bring the GST into a chloramines and then flush the system.

  Hey Ryan, I'm assuming you mean "sea water"... like for a fish tank? The test itself would be the same to test alkalinity... having said that, all my experience and emphasis with my channel is on drinking water distribution or treatment. Having said that, much of the water we test is also raw water that had not been treated yet... granted all the plants I have worked at deal with surface water runoff or ground water. I've never worked at a desalination plant.

• 
  @TheWaterSifu Жыл бұрын

  Hello... depends. Treated water samples from a water system, which are where most samples come from, are good for 30 hours. Raw, source water samples are considerably less... off the top of my head its either 6 or 8 hours. The only other thing I feel a weird need to clarify (because you likely already understand this) is the word "sterile" in your question. Although, the sample should be taken very carefully, so as no to contaminate it, the bottle itself does not have anything in it to sterilize the sample. It actually contains an ingredient to neutralize any chlorine in the sample taken, because contact time with that chlorine might kill any coliform bacteria that might be in the sample when taken.
