How often should breakthrough Total Chlorine testing be done if results from the primary carbon filter are too high?

Breakthrough Total Chlorine testing should be conducted every 30 minutes if results from the primary carbon filter indicate that chlorine levels are too high. This frequency of testing is important because it allows for timely identification of any potential issues with the carbon filter's ability to remove chlorine effectively. Regular monitoring at this interval helps ensure that any breakthrough of chlorine is detected quickly, allowing for prompt corrective actions to be taken to safeguard patient safety and the integrity of the treatment process. By testing every 30 minutes, clinical staff can stay ahead of problems, adjusting treatment protocols or addressing equipment issues as necessary to maintain appropriate chlorine levels in the dialysate.
