That plants of (his kind are in general use la a matter mat-ter of common knowledge, and that they are suennxfal In service la attested at-tested by the number of companies engaged en-gaged In their manufacture. A water supply plant for tho average aver-age home need not be elaborate or expensive in order to be convenient. The water may be taken from any suitable source of supply, and the plant may be made to suit the available avail-able conditions, no mutter what they may be. The system Is simple In construction, construc-tion, not at all difficult to operate, and contains all of the csaentlals necessary neces-sary to the demands of the average borne. The source of supply Is a rain water riatern sunk below the level of the basement floor, the top of which extend ex-tend above tho level of the floor. The water Is pumped from the clntern by a common tank pump and forced Into the pressure tank, where It furnUhes a supply of water as desired. The tank Is an upright cylinder made perfectly light and constructed to withstand the necessary pressure required to perform per-form Its service. It may be galvanized as a precaution against rust, but this la not absolutely iieceaaary. The pipe which conveys the water from the pump eulers the tank near the bottom, and as the water enters the contained air Is compressed Into the decreasing space above its surface. sur-face. The pressure developed by the rompressed air furnishes the force by which the water la driven out of the 'link and through the distributing pipes as the supply la demanded. If the uir of the tank when empty of water wa-ter la compressed until it occupies one-half one-half of Its original volume, then the pressure will be twice the orlKlnal pressure, which In thla case w II be about 15 pounds to the square inch. The higher the water rlnes In the lank the greater will be the pressure developed. This may be as blsh as 123 pounds to the square Inch If occasion requires, but 40 pounds pressure Is (tenerally sufficient for all the requirements require-ments usually demanded In a bouse plant. The plant Is relatively Inexpensive. Imple to operate and gives the hous' I supply of wnter that furnishes every necessary convenience. Modification may be made to suit any condition or size, location or source of water supply. |
