47、systems, related to public and residential recreational water facility operation. If a value for measurement is followed by a value in other units in parenthesis, the second value may be only approximate. The first stated value is the requirement. In this edition of NSF/ANSI 50 editorial revisions a

48、nd the following issues were incorporated: Issue 108 Changes were made to the skimmer performance test procedure. Issue 110 This issue changed the turbidity tolerance from 45 +/- 10 NTU to 45 +/- 5 NTU. Issue 118 The upper limit of challenge organisms in H.1.6.2 was removed. Issue 119 Language was a

49、dded to specify that the Hydrostatic pressure test in 11.3 be performed on the same sample as the test in 11.2. Issue 120 Requirements for pump voltage in 6.6 and C.1 were updated. Issue 121 A discrepancy in units in B.4.3.1 was corrected. Issue 122 Section N.2.3.3.1 was updated to require 4 ORP sensors, consistent with other language in Annex N. Issue 123 Column titles in Tables O.1 through O.9 were updated for consistency. Issue 125 This revision modified the test procedure for automated controllers. 2The information contained in this Foreword is not part of this American Nation
