A Means of Renewing Water in Tanifs. 



JBLUNDELL, Bingara, writes to the 

 , Agricultural Gazette of N.S.W. :— 

 I should like to direct the attention of 

 such of your readers as are dependent 

 upon galvanised-iron tanks for their 

 household water supply, to a simple and 

 inexpensive device whereby the quality 

 of that supply may be much improved. 

 Instead of the usual straight over flow 

 slip inserted at the top corrugation of 

 tank, get a length and elbow of 2 or 3 in. 

 down pipe. Solder the elbow to pipe, cut 

 pipe to length to reach bottom of tank, 

 allowing half an inch to turn up, then cut 

 two quarters 2 or 3 inches deep out of 

 bottom of pipe and turn up i-inch lip on 

 remaining quarters. Place pipe mside 



tank, pass the elbow through aperture 

 occupied by the usual over-flow. Solder 

 elbow in its place and solder lips to 

 bottom of tank, and the job is complete. 

 ( ost, including pipe and labour, 28. to 28. 

 6d. The water entering at top of tank 

 will force the water from bottom of tank 

 up the pipe, and when the tank is over- 

 flowing you have the satisfaction of 

 knowing that the stale water is flowmg 

 out and the fresh retained as surely as if 

 you ran ofE the lower water from the tap. 



Possil)ly, this device may be in use in 

 some parts, but, I think, not generally, 

 and I have never seen it attached to any 

 tanks but my own.
