Mikveh near Tel Aviv

This morning I went to a Mikweh (ritual bath). The Ministry of Religion had invested in the renovation of this facility, and I was invited to do an AS MADE plan and certify it. The entrances for men and women are on different sides of the building, and there are intimidating steel turnstiles to get inside. No gender mixing here. The bathing installations are inviting, nice and clean, so much that I thought about installing a mini-bar at the poolside, and maybe a small nudist gym annex for the religious gay. The mikweh could be then operated on a profit basis like a bathhouse.

The pipes and the machinery were a mix of old and new, and the old badly renewed (see the hot water tank "renewed" with transparent plastic tape!). There are at least ten thermometers, measuring anything between 20 to 55 Centigrades.
