We regard the water as safe and suitable for swimmingbath
purposes, but the results suggest that the dose of
chlorine could beneficially be slightly increased.
No. 6— The water was bright in appearance, contained a few
particles of vegetable matter in suspension, and had a
faint earthy odour. It was of neutral reaction, hard in
character, contained a trace of free chlorine, and was of
satisfactory chemical quality. Bacteriologically, it was
of a very high standard of purity. The water was of
satisfactory quality, therefore suitable and safe for
swimming bath purposes.
No. 7— This is a reasonably clear and bright water, of normal
colour, containing only a few particles of debris in suspension.
It is neutral in reaction, contains no excess of
saline, mineral or metallic matter, and an appropriate
amount of residual free chlorine was present.
The water is of satisfactory organic and bacterial
purity, and we regard it as suitable and safe for
swimming bath purposes.
