ConclusionConclusion
The measurements show a distinct The measurements show a distinct reduction in combined chlorine levelsreduction in combined chlorine levels
The need for breakpoint chlorination has The need for breakpoint chlorination has been eliminatedbeen eliminated
The absence of injection/metering pumps The absence of injection/metering pumps (diaphragm or peristaltic) lowers (diaphragm or peristaltic) lowers maintenance requirements and costsmaintenance requirements and costs
