THE Perry Pneumatic System absolutely eliminates the storage of water. Consider what this means; consider what must be the interior state of a tank that has done duty for years. One glance at the inside of such tank would be the most convincing argument and the strongest object lesson that we could give in favor of the Perry Non-Storage System. The distribution of water under pressure, without storage, was made possible through the inven- tion of the Perry Pneumatic Pump. Placed in the well, or any source of water supply, this pump is operated by compressed air, which, by means of an automatic valve, forces the water alternately out of the two cylinders, producing a steady, continuous flow at high pressure. It is the only pump that will maintain an evenly high pressure of water at the faucets. It operates only when water is drawn, starting automatically when a faucet is opened and stopping when it is closed. The equipment consists of any motive power capable of one-half h. p. or more, a small air compres- sor, a storage tank for air, a Perry Pneumatic Pump and the required piping and faucets. The Power, Compressor and Tank may be located at any convenient place. The Pneumatic Pump is submerged in the well. Having connected these properly and started the Compressor, the air is stored in the tank to any pressure desired, then the Compressor is stopped. This compressed air is now stored power, which operates the pump and is used only when water is drawn from the faucets. The Com- pressor need not again be started until the tank requires recharging. A pressure Reducer on the air line maintains an even pressure of water at the faucets, regardless of the amount of air pressure in the tank. Now, the questions naturally arise —What is the efficiency of the Perry System, and how does its capacity compare with that of others? Th
