A mains water meter system comprises a water meter (32) and a fitting (34) for attaching the water meter to a stop tap body (36), such that a fluid path is defined between the stop tap input (44), through the water meter (32), and to the stop tap output (52). This enables a...
The operating mechanism and valve are removed from the body (2) of the existing main stoptap. The incoming water (3) passes through the valve seat aperture (21) and flows up an internal tube (22) which passes up the inside of the tap stem body. The water flows through an external new...

often in the distribution system downstream of the locations where biological agent testing is performed. Any attack introduced near the tap (i.e., toward the consumer end of the distribution system) has a greater likelihood of success because such sites are after treatment and, generally, after...
We therefore used a fixed order of treatments in the main experiment. The fixed order was also preferred because the experimental manipulation of females is irreversible, and minimized the impact of collection on the local wild population. First, a female was tested in Control treatment before any...

In summary, although well-intended and well-developed, the U.S.’s drinking water regulations do not fully assure the quality of tap water to prevent either short-term or long-term illness from drinking it. Improving upon water treatment technologies and moving them closer to the POU is a ...
The chamber was placed in a cooler filled with tap water to maintain the bottom water temperature and prevent light penetration. The bottom seawater of GA4, filtered through GF/C filters (diameter 150 mm, Whatman plc, Maidstone, UK), was filled into a 50 L chamber in which four small ...
