*'American"Turbine Centrifugals 



Overcome Difficult Deep Pumping Conditions 



IN many large capacity deep wells the water contains so 

 much silt and grit that it quickly destroys the valves in 

 any of the plunger types of pumps and rapidly reduces 

 efficiencies. 



The "American" Turbine Centrifugal not only meets these conditions 

 by delivering a large quantity of water from a deep drill hole, but it 

 develops high efficiencies and maintains its initial efficiency under the 

 most difficult pumping conditions. 



In several of the large irrigation pumping districts in New 

 Mejdco, where there are large under stratums of quicksands 

 and where other types of pumps failed completely, the 

 ''American" Turbine Centrifugal is maintaining its initial effi- 

 ciency even under conditions where it is frequently necessary to 

 shovel the pumped sand away from the discharge spout of the 

 pump. 



It is this ability to develop a type of centrifugal that will 

 meet nearly every condition, combined with unequalled high 

 efficiencies that has made the "American" Centrifugal the 

 standard wherever this type of pump is used. 



"American" Turbine Centrifugals are built in sizes to 

 operate in wells from 1 2 inches to 30 inches in diameter, inside 

 of casing, produce best results on heads to 150 feet and deliver 

 from 700 to 3,000 gallons of water per minute. 



These pumps develop up to 70 per cent efficiencies and are 

 especially adapted for pumping large, deep wells in waterworks, 

 manufacturing plants and for irrigation purposes. 



If you have a difficult pumping problem of any kind let us 

 show you why our 43 years experience in building pumps of 

 nearly every type enables us to meet your conditions most 

 successfully and at greatest economy.
