Annotation Chemical composition of the investigated Uluri (Twenty Springs), Kyra and Bylyra thermal springs is bicarbonate sodium. At time sampling (March 2010) their maximum temperature was 28,2, 43,5 and 44,4 °C respectively, the highest ion amounts were 263, 247 and 213 mg/l. The springs are characterized by high concentrations of H4SiO4 (127–166 mg/l) and F (9,5–13,8 mg/l). Water of all springs is alkaline (pH 9,12–0,0), low radon (6,5–10,9 nC/l) and that of Uluri and Kyra is low hydrogen sulfide (0,8-1,0 mg/l). The Bylyra hydropathical establishment is closed; Uluri spring is widely used for nonmedical treatment.
