1.8 Yossi says men and women must gather separately; two tubs in different rooms is preferable, but a single tub used first by one group and then by the other will suffice, and it is not necessary to empty and refill. Hillel says men and women can share a tub so long as a mechitzah is used. Shmuel cautions about tz'niut even in the presence of a mechitzah but does not outright forbid.
1.9 A slow drain on a shower is not sufficient; the 40 hin must be intentional, not byproduct. Hillel says if the volume is sufficient then it is acceptable b'diaved even from a slow drain, but the Sages rule otherwise.
1.10 Chlorine does not invalidate if it is the custom of public baths in this place.
