1. A domestic water softener produces water with hardness of 5 mg/L as CaCO3. The raw water has hardness of 225 mg/L. The average finished water demand is 1600 gpd with hardness of 80 mg/L as CaCO3. Determine the flow through water softener. [3 marks) 2. The selected dilution for BODS test should be such that the residual DO is at least 1 mg/L, and DO depletion should be at least 2 mg/L. Assuming initial Do of 8.6 mg/L, calculate the range of BOD5 that can be measured by a dilution of 1 ml sample in a 300-ml BOD bottle. [4 marks]
