This storage tank hasa capacity of 250,000 gals, above the height of 21 ft. above raillevel. The softener at this point, as well as that shown inFig. 3, which is at Hazleton, Ohio, is of a capacity of 42,000gals, per hour. It will be noticed in the latter installation(Fig. 3) that special types of elevated storage tanks are used;these tanks, however, were in use at this point before thewater-softener was installed. dasitrn Granite/too/my - ■ Concrete rovrxtoOoi. :*Si££ t*aj>ir> ■ jj gg ~ ■=] Sect/o/i A B Sect/on tO DETAILS i in BPECIAJ DESIGN O] FRAME STORE HOU8B USED AT I11E WATJSB-SOFTENING PLANTS OF 12,000 GALLONS PER HOUB CAPACITY FOR PROTECTION OF THE CHEMICALS.
