Filter Update 5/29/2013

Week Eight Completed Tasks

Filter Readings

Glue used to affix outflow hose to main filter body was found to be completely permeable. This was fixed by coating with nail polish. Filter no longer leaks, outflow hose functioning properly. Last week's results were promising, I expect this week's to be better.

Turbidity readings to date:
Wk 5: .73 influent, .03 effluent (turbidity meter was improperly calibrated)
Wk 6: 8.01 influent, 3.79 effluent
Wk 7: 16.26 influent, 1.69 effluent
Wk 8: 11.56 influent, .55 effluent

Breaking up the rust layer has more than doubled the flow rate.
