C.T calculation “C” is the concentration of chlorine, “T” is the amount of time the water has been in contact with chlorine before the first user. Calculated daily and compared against the EPA CT “Required” Table C.T Calculation Problems To calculate the contact time T, the results of a recent tracer study must be used!! The peak flow must be measured from the effluent side of the clearwell or contact chamber, NOT the flow through the plant. The chlorine residual, pH, and temperature values used to calculate CT must be measured at the effluent side of the clearwell or contact chamber, or
