What should you do if a purifiable sump sample appears hazy?

When a purifiable sump sample appears hazy, letting it sit for 30 minutes allows any suspended particles or contaminants to settle at the bottom of the sample container. This settling process can clarify whether the haziness is due to easily removable debris or more significant contamination. After this period, the technician can assess the sample more effectively, and if the haze clears up, it may indicate that it can be tested without immediate filtering or discarding. This method provides a straightforward approach to determining the quality of the sample without rushing to discard it or treat it unnecessarily.
