What is the true meaning of the federal minimum disinfectant residual requirement, “detectable”, especially as it relates to chloramines. Are “detectable” but trace concentrations of chloramines primarily measures of organic chloramines which have little disinfectant action. The goal of this presentation is to get people thinking about minimum distribution system residuals to energize a larger discussion on disinfection as it relates to public health protection and its implications on N. fowleri control.
