The evaluation is coordinated and supervised by the MERC Principal Investigator,
Program Coordinator and MERC personnel. Staffs participate in this test by installing,
maintaining, and operating the respective technologies throughout the test; operating the
reference equipment, collecting the water samples, downloading the data from the instrument
package, and informing the MERC Program Coordinator staff of any problems encountered.
Manufacturer representatives shall train MERC staff in the operation of their filter system.
However, the proper installation, calibration, maintenance, and operation of the systems is
ultimately the responsibility of the manufacturer. QA oversight is provided by the MERC
Program Coordinator. In addition to aiding the development of these protocols, the MERC
Advisory Board will be consulted during the evaluation in the event problems occur, will assist
in the analyses of results, and will review the final Filter Performance Report prior to release.
Specific responsibilities are detailed below.
