Swimming Baths—The Use therein of Electrolytic Fluid.
It is very questionable whether the slight chlorous smell
(mentioned on page 88) can now be detected because the
strength of the fluid is kept at l.5 and 2.0 grammes of
chlorine per litre for the Poplar and other baths respectively,
as this strength from the appearance and condition of the
bath water appears to be sufficient—for the time being
at all events—either to kill the bacteria, or to inhibit their
growth.
The same quantities are added as mentioned on page 88,
and the chlorine per 100 gallons, of the bath water is 3.38
grains (large bath) and 3.48 grains (small bath) for each
addition in Poplar: 5.1, 3.4, and 3.4 grains of chlorine per
100 gallons of bath water for the Bow and Island Baths.
