Examples

うむ。湯(ゆ)の花(はな)が湯船(ゆぶね)の底(そこ)に溜(た)まりすぎると、せっかくの硫黄(いおう)の薬用(やくよう)効能(こうのう)が肌(はだ)に届(とど)きにくくなる。余分(よぶん)な湯(ゆ)を一(いち)度(ど)外(そと)へ流(なが)して、湯量(ゆりょう)を保(たも)つとよいぞ。

Indeed. If too much mineral sediment accumulates on the bottom, the sulfur's medicinal efficacy won't reach the skin as easily. Drain the excess water once to maintain the proper level. (N4 lesson 6)
