figures, here, match theirs, in this column. See?" "Air losses?"

"No way! The chlorine room is like a small broom closet. A leak in there would kill you in a second. We spray ammonia test vapor even approaching that room, and also around all the connections. There is no leak. All of that chlorine goes into the water." "Flow rates are accurate?" "Ruby float, crystal viewing cylinder with double precision calibration. I checked the back up unit. Absolutely on spec. I really don’t think the installed unit is any different." "Well, it can't be. Something can't be. Marcus, my good man, the children would dissolve. Look at your figures. Here's the depth... uh feet, here, times 12, times 2.54, length times 12 times 2.54, times width... let's see, OK, times 12 times 2.54 gives us rectangular volume, minus the pitch to shallow water volume. What is pool temperature? Your log shows it to be fairly steady at 80 degrees. OK, the maximum concentration of chlorine at 80 degrees, oh, here.. Let's check our conversion to Celsius, uh.. mmmm, OK. Its OK. Now we figure evaporation and sublimation at worst case - 100 degrees air temperature?" "Naw." "No. No. Do 100 degrees, worst case, in Celsius... hmmmm Jesus. They'd all be dead! Just standing over the water and breathing, you'd be dead!" "Wind factor!" Marcus was jubilant at an insight, "It is the top of a mountain. Breezes?" A sudden sucking hiss declared that the espresso was ready. The sudden reentry of hot water to the lower pot from the upper was easy to hear, "Cup?" "Sure." Mac knew where the demitasse cups were.
