Council's modern Open-Air Bath.
The water in the Pool (supplied by the Metropolitan
Water Board's main) is always flowing and is completely
changed, Altered and aerated every six hours by means
of a filtration and pumping plant, thus maintaining it
quite pure. In addition, the water is constantly under
observation, and tests are made from time to time to
determine its condition, particular nature and extent of
the chemical and other purification needed.
