A Water Supply for Country Homes
The Water Supply problem for country and suburban homes has long been a perplexing one for the architect.
How to give his client the conveniences of a sanitary supply and avoid the inconveniences of the gravity system, has been a difficult feature of the architect’s plans.
But the country and suburban water problem has been completely solved by
The Kewanee Water System
With a Kewanee outfit a man out in the country may enjoy all the conveniences, comforts and safe-guards of a city supply.
The dangers and troubles of the elevated tanks are entirely avoided where the Kewanee System is installed. Here is how it operates:
An air-tight steel Kewanee tank is located in the cellar or buried in the ground. Water from the well, cistern, lake or other source is pumped into this tank. The air, having no escape, is gradually compressed as more water is forced into the tank. It is this air pressure, caused by pumping water only, which forces the water through the supply pipes.
A good average pressure with the Kewanee System is forty pounds, which will raise the water about ninety-three feet. This is much better than the city pressure in either New York or Chicago.
An elevated tank is unsatisfactory because it is so exposed that it will deteriorate and cause constant repairs. The water freezes in the winter and becomes Warm in the summer. Besides, the tank and tower are an “eye-sore” to the natural beauty of any country home. An attic tank is liable to leak and flood the house. It cannot be placed high enough to create sufficient gravity pressure for sanitary plumbing or for fire protection.
The Kewanee Pneumatic tank rests on solid ground where it can do no damage. It is thoroughly protected from all the extremes in the weather. It is made of steel and will outlast a dozen overhead tanks.
The Kewanee System offers the ideal solution of the country and suburban water problem. When the architect specifies a Kewanee Outfit, he evinces a guarantee of good faith and he is bound to please his client. We guarantee every Kewanee outfit to give perfect service.
