TYPE WATER SYSTEMS
EXTRA WATER—
There are so many uses around
the home for an abundant water
supply. Plenty of water at the
turn of a tap in the kitchen, bath
room or laundry means a happy,
healthy home. Happy because the
drudgery of lifting and carrying
water is done away with — and
healthy because with running wa-
ter, the ultimate in sanitation is
possible.
This turbine type pump makes an
ideal unit for home use. It is
quiet in operation, and extra wat-
er capacity is available at the
operating pressures at which the
most water is drawn.
