Show solution

Correct answer to question 5036

  • A: 2.5-log

Explanation

Conventional filtration receives 2.5-log Giardia and 2-log virus credit. California requires 3-log Giardia and 4-log virus overall (22 CCR 64652(a)), so disinfection must supply the remaining 0.5-log Giardia and 2-log virus. Direct filtration receives 2.0-log Giardia credit.
