It should also be considered that the sample point should be located such that the residual reading 
can be used as a control signal for the chemical injection.  Especially, it should be considered that if 
there is a long time delay between chemical injection changes and the change being detected by the 
measurement cell, then chemical injection control is adversely aff ected.  The delay time should be 
kept as short as possible.  We recommend that the time be less than 5 minutes.
