This study, involving the removal of bacterial viruses from water using diatomaceous‐earth filter aids, covers the comparative properties of uncoated and polyelectrolye‐coated products as they affect the process. The work is based on studies using bacteriophage T2 for Escherichia coli. Part 2, involving this virus and poliovirus virulent strain Mahoney Type I, will be reported in a later issue.
