CITY WATER SUPPLY INADEQUATE FOR tfEW DRAINAGE SYSTEM.

Our representative called on .Messrs Drown' Bros., electrical engineers, who have specialised in* electric pumping machinery for *' ie P as t 18.years, to see what this fii'hi was doing to meet the requirements of the public for extra water supply which will be required in. connexion with the extension of the ne>v drainage system, as small pumping plants will be required' when the high pressure town supply is not available. ' t , Amongst the many different types of pumps which were shown to him was a very compact and suitable . set" known as the "Viking Universal" Pump, which only occupies the . small space of ISiu by Sin. The Motor and Pump are direct connected, which does away with belting or gearing. This is aii, important feature for the Householder, as there is no risk of getting caught in the belt, or of any annoyance due to the belt breaking or stretching. This Pump is of a special type, and differs entirely from the ordinary Mesh Cor Rotary I'ump, which depends on the fit between the cogs and the casing to maintain its suction and efficiency. Pumps of this latter class soon become useless when wear takes place, necessitating a complete replacement. Owing to the special patented , design of the Viking Pump, there is no wear or friction oa the casing, which reduces the.j Power required to drive it to a mini-: mum, and it will last a lifetime as spare part 3 can b© supplied, and are easily fitted. Those parts subject to wear axe specially, hardened. The clearances can bo adjusted to maintain tho. maximum efficiency of the Pump. The amount of Current used by this Pump is trifling, being less than i unit per 100 gallons pumped, to the average height required by most householders. Messrs Brown Bros, are the sole New Zealand Agents for this wonderfully efficient Pump, which secured a Gold Medal, and highest Award _ at one of the World's largest Exhibitions, Every •Pump carries a 12 months' Service Guarantee, and any part showing defect in workmanship or material within this time will be replaced free of charge. There are hundreds of Viking. Pumps in use in New Zealand, supplying Water for Institutions, Hotels, Industrial Plants, and Dpmestic Supply.; Standard Pumps are . manufactured, in ! sizes from 100-10,000 g.p.h., suitable for Suction un to 25ft with a delivery to 100- or 250 ft- Besides thesis seV.this, firm carry a varied-.stock ,of Deep Well, and Shallow Well Motor-driven Pumping' Sets, tho cheapest set selling at' £lO, which price is'well witliin' the reach of any Householder., If re- : quired, easy terms' of-payment can be arranged. • ' * Those interested' in the purchase of ] Electric;-lumping.
