Week Six Completed Tasks
Initial Filter Testing
The river water and the water run through the filter were tested for turbidity. The reading for the turbidity of the river was 0.73 and the turbidity of the water that had been through the filter was 0.03. Before running the river water through the filter, it had first been flushed with approximately 8 oz of tap water, and this might have been why the second reading was so low. Because of this, all filters were required to be flushed with 32 oz of tap water following this reading for standardization purposes. After, the filter returned to receiving river water so that the biofilm could be cultivated without drying out and dying.
