If the Total Chlorine testing from the primary carbon filter indicates levels greater than 0.1 ppm, what should be done?

When Total Chlorine levels from the primary carbon filter exceed 0.1 ppm, performing testing after the secondary carbon filter is the best course of action. This step helps assess the effectiveness of the secondary filter in removing chlorine from the water supply. If the secondary filter effectively reduces the chlorine levels below the acceptable threshold, it indicates that the filtration system is functioning properly.

Testing at this stage provides crucial information about the system’s performance and helps maintain the safety and quality of the water used in dialysis treatments. Monitoring chlorine levels is vital because elevated levels can be harmful to patients.

Continuing without further testing might overlook potential issues with the filtration system, while retesting at the primary filter or changing the carbon filter immediately may not provide the comprehensive assessment needed to ensure water quality further down the line.
