Notes

Only Hanna meter tests done on this initial testing session. Dissolved oxygen not appropriate because water collected directly from CSO in a bucket on a long rope. The water is heavily aerated so O2 reading would be invalid. This was the first time we had used Hanna meters and all appeared to work correctly however the zero readings for ammonia was slightly puzzling.
