Water Lifted By Compressed Air
For Municipal, Manufacturing, Irrigation or Other Water Supply

RECORD OF EXPERIENCE. It is impossible to list any standard Air Lift plants, as the con- ditions vary so widely. Two plants with identical requirements are very rare indeed. It is interesting, however, to note just what is accomplished where the Air Lift is in practical operation. We have selected a few paragraphs from some of the many letters received from our customers as chronicling a record of experience well worth reading. Increasing the Flow. Geo. W. Chandler, City Engineer at Canton, Ill., writes concerning their Air Lift plant: “We have had one of your air compressors at work for the last three years. I would say that the actual cost laid out on the com- pressor, foi the three years that it has been in sørvics, is comparatively nothing. As the machine is regulated by the governor working auto- matically after turning on the steam, and oiling, it takes care of itself and does the work of lifting 400 gallons per minute, from the one arte- sian well. After using the Air Lift process for three years in our artesian well I can see no difference in the amount of water obtained from the well; if any, I think that the flow is increased.” Obtaining More Walter. Here is the comment of Mr. T. W. Burns, of the Fairbury, Ill., Water Works : “I am obtaining more water with the Air Lift than I could with, any form of pump that I have ever seen. I am so well satisfied with, the superiority of this system that I have recommended it to several i committees from other placss that liuvc bcøii liere seeking informationt as to the best system of pumping water from deep wells. While I have only one compressor and one pump I haven’t been compelled to. shut the water off from the town in four years. ’ ’ 70
