According to the Surface Water Treatment Rule, water systems must sample filtered water for turbidity at least this often.
What is every four hours?

This is the simplest QC test. Two tests are run on the same sample to determine the precision of the analyst.
What is a duplicate?
100
A type of pump consisting of an impellar on a rotating shaft enclosed by a casing and having both a suction and discharge connection. The spinning impellar throws water outward at a high velocity and the shape converts velocity to pressure.
What is a centrifugal/velocity pump?

The testa for total hardness and calcium hardness involve a titration with this chemical.
What is EDTA?
200
The operating condition under which electrical motors pull the most current.
What is start up?
300
The fact that the filter media can not be observed during operation is the primary disadvantage of these filters.
What are pressure filters?
300
The motor horsepower required for a pumping job is 39 HP. The power cost is $0.08/kW/hr. Find the cost of operating the motor for one hour.
What is $2.33/hr?

Water storage tanks must be professionally inspected this often.
What is every 5 years?

This test for chlorine residual is not affected by color or turbidity but it does take more operator skill.
What is amperometric titration?
300
This is the primary indicator of pump bearing failure.
What is noise from the pump?

The head loss in a filter at which water can no longer be filtered at the desired rate.
What is terminal head loss?
