The Country Water Problem Solved
There is no longer any good reason why the man living in the country cannot have a water supply equally as good as the man living in the city.
The Kewanee System is easily explained. Water is pumped from the well or cistern into an air-tight Kewanee Tank. The air, having no escape, becomes compressed. Under ordinary conditions, when the tank is half full, a pressure of 30 pounds will be exerted on the water. This will raise the water ap
proximately 60 feet. Of course, by pumping more water into the tank, a greater pressure may be attained.
A KEWANEE PNEUMATIC TANK
buried in the ground or placed in the cellar, enables the man in the country to enjoy all the benefits of a regular city water supply without paying a penny for water tax.
Sufficient pressure may readily be created to deliver water to the plumbing fixtures in the house, to outside hydrants, garden, to the stable — to wherever it is needed.
The Kewanee Pneumatic Tank replaces the old style elevated tank. The elevated tank and tower has always been an “eyesore, ” marring the natural beauty of a country home. On account of the elevation necessary to produce fair pressure, the elevated tank is expensive, unsightly and unsafe.
The Kewanee System displaces the old-fashioned leaky attic tank. Attic tanks are always giving trouble on account of leaking, cracking the plastering, flooding the house — in fact you never can tell what they are going to do next. One “flood” from an attic tank will be more costly than the price of a Kewanee Pneumatic Tank — which rests on solid ground, where it can do no damage.
And the Kewanee System affords splendid fire protection, often effecting a substantial reduction in insurance rates.
5, 000 satisfied customers, everywhere, appreciate the “Kewanee” service, and architects are regularly specifying Kewanee Outfits in their plans for suburban and country homes.
We would like to send you our 40-page illustrated catalog No. 40, fully explaining the Kewanee System. It is free for the asking if you mention the American Architect.
