XiiTAKS PIMPS Intake pumps consist of six Peerless deep veil turbine pumps, powered bp 400 HP, 4150 volt General Electric motors. Pump columns are 18 Inches 0.D. with flanged Joints, and measure if6 feet l§ inches from motor base to bottom of strainers* Pump# are set in two rows of three, and each three discharge through 16 inch pipes to a 28 inch manifold. The two discharge manifolds conneot to the 40 inch W.S.p, pressure main* An 8 inch Pelt on Surge Suppressor is mounted at the discharge of each pump. Motors are controlled by float switches located at the Booster Station Reservoir. the discharge capacity of the intake pump# will vary in accordance with the lake levs!, and can operate between the following maximum and minimum ranges.
