This article describes how operators at most filtration plants do not determine coagulant dosage by one technique alone but use several. It discusses how historical dosage charts or tables are a technique for determining coagulant dosage that can be a time‐saving tool at treatment plants where source water quality and coagulant dosage change from time to time. It explains how using them in combination with other means of assessing coagulant dosage increases the operators' information base for selecting the most effective dosages.
