. Commendable Enterprise of a LOca
FIrm-The Latest Invention Utilized.
The late falling off in the natural
warer supply of this city tended greatly
10 present, to such OF the general public
As we're Of an observant nature, the
unclean and consequently somewhat
( impure condition Of the aqueous element
which supplied the daily wants of the
city water-takers This aroused suspi-
I cion that the condition of the water OF
/ the city was not so much to be wondered
/ at, ii the public had but borne in mind
the dictum Of Prof. Van Slyke date of
Oahu College,, who in his report of an
analysis made by him, OF Nuuanu Val
ley and other waters, in 1886, states q:
"All animal matter whether coming
from insect, human or domestic animal
life, cannot be considered a favorable
indication and even the presence of
cotton, silk and linen tibers and the
like, though harmless themselves, fur
'nish the uncomfortable suggestion that
the water is in such position as to be
liable to accidental pollution" And
again; Bacteria are universally present
where any organic matter Is under
going decomposition. In all OF the
waters OF the Nuuanu Valley, except
that OF Kapena spring, bacteria were
found in varying proportions"
To none more than to manufacturers
of aerated waters has the unClean cOndi-
ton of TIE city water been manifest, and
various forms OF filters and tiltering pro-
eesses have been in vogue for the pur-
ing to the obtaining of a clear, pure !
water. During the late extended visit I
of Mr. II. A Parmelee, of HOLSTER & |
Co., to the United States, his attention |
was drawn to an invention for hlterlng
water which was creating great interest
in the large cities, it having passed the |
period of experiment and the many testi-
mOnials received and published, OF ettec-
tive and satisfactory results, proved 1t to
be the only system of mechanical Ultra
ton for public water supplies IN the
United States or elsewhere. This lnYen-
ton, known as the "Hyatt Pure Water
system" cOagulates, filters and aerates;
the water Is not simply strained, but is
freed from impurities by coagulatlon and
filtration and surcharged with oxygen by
aeration.
The Newark, New Jersey, Board of
Health examined the system, employing
eminent chemists to analyze the water
before and after treatment, and as a re-
suit of their report the Board of Health
the adoption of the sys-
EN- as a ready means Of aHording a
greatly improved and safe supply of
yater'' The foul, polluted waters of
he Chicago river, the turbid water OF
he Mississippi, Missouri and Sacramento
ivers have been treated by this system
With results which proved that the
Hyatt Pure Water System" uninter-
uptedly regenerates the water, however
,ad it NAV be, to a condition of crystal
inc brilliancy and purity. The coagu- {
ant used is entangled and removed with
he impurities, not trace OF 1t remain
ng in the filtered water.
CarbOnated waters, to be of the finest
uality, must be made Of water that is {
ure, clear and free from lime and other l
lkalies. The firm of HOlliSter & Co.
ave long attempted to obtain this desid- /
ratum in the manufacture of their I
Grated waters, but have, until now, only G
cen partially successful. Since the in
'Oduction of the Hyatt System in their s
orks the object desired mas been fully :
and customers are invited to
ep in, indulge in personal inspection
the apparatus, and enjoy glass of the
urest water obtainable IN this city.
In the large cities of the west, notably
hicago, St Louis, New Orleans and 7
incinnati, etc, the frst-class hotels -
equentiv advertise that the water used +
purified by the Hyatt Pure Water q
ystem' and such is the notice by p
Iessrs, Holhster & Co., that, hereafter, e
re aerated waters manufactured at their
will not be the product of
ne unclean, milky, natural water sup
y, but OF that purified by the Hyatt
ure Water System" in operation in the
hawaiian Islands in THEIR ESTABLISH |
