Byreferring to the cross sectional view of ourEver Ready Hydropneumatic Cylinder (Fig-ure 5) you will note that there is a by-passrunning from the top of cylinder to bottom,consisting of J/o-inch pipe with a three-waycock located at the top of the by-pass anda check valve at the bottom. The hydro-pneumatic cylinder must always be a sizelarger than the water cylinder. It is madein two sizes, 3-inch and 8%-inch. The 3-inch. for the difference in the sizes of the hydro-pneumatic cylinder and the water long as the controlling rod is kept upno air will be taken into the system. It isvery essential that the stuffing box aroundthe piston rod of the pump is kept thorough-ly packed at all times, as otherwise a smallquantity of air taken into the system ateach stroke of the pump will be allowedto escape and the tank will soon becomewaterlogged. A Few Important Things toRemember Be sure that all connections in pneumatictank above water line are absolutely air-tight. Make all connections in suction pipe lead-ing from pump to source of supply abso-lutely airtight. Place engine, tank and pump on solidfoundation, carefully securing them so asto overcome any jarring or vibration. Locate all underground piping belowfrost line. (This is usually from 3 to 6feet, depending upon the locality.) The above suggestions should be borne inmind while installing a
