ABSTRACT:
A method for monitoring water filter performance and efficiency, by correlating particle size and distribution to turbidity measurement. The method includes the steps of installing and calibrating the filter system, and periodically testing the filter system efficiency. The calibration of the filter system includes the step of preparing a calibration "challenge" solution having a predetermined count of particles of known size which will serve as "surrogates" for the particles which are to be removed during normal filtration. The turbidity of the calibration challenge solution is measured, and correlated to the particle count information. Similarly, the effluent turbidity is measured and a particle size distribution count made to verify the percent removal specified.
