How is the water purity maintained?
Mayyim Hayyim has a water filter/disinfectant system, installed in the basement, through which the water to the two mikvaot flows. There is a supply pipe and return pipe-much like a supply and return duct for air. The water is treated with Ultraviolet Light which is an odor free and highly effective disinfectant. Occasionally, depending on the number of immersions we have provided during the day, we may add a small amount of Bromine to the water at the end of the day. Bromine is also a safe and effective disinfectant.
