WATER INJECTIONAERATOR

The HydroJect 3000 uses high-velocitywater to aerate compacted soils withoutdisturbing their surfaces. The water jetpenetrates the surface with a clean en-trance hole, approximately the size of thatcreated by an earthworm, and begins tofragment the soil laterally as it penetratesdeeper, lifting and shattering the soil un-derneath. This loosens the soil and leaveschannels that are conducive to root growthand water infiltration.

The unit, which can aerate up to 26,000square feet per hour, is powered by a 24-hpOnan four-cycle air cooled engine. Its 10-1/2-gallon gasoline tank enables it to oper-ate for more than four hours withoutrefueling. A switch electrically raises theunit off its rollers and automatically shiftsthe transmission to a four-mph transportspeed.THE TORO COMPANYCircle 242 on Postage Free Card

SAND AND SILT A PROBLEM INIRRIGATION WATER SUPPLY?

NOT WITH A SOLID SEPARATOR FROM

PUMPING SYSTEMS, INC.The SOLID SEPARATOR from PSI uses the sameoperating principle as other hydrocyclones, but withseveral major advantages.

First, PSI uses a motorized impeller to increaseseparation performance making it more effective forsmaller particle sizes.

Second, it operates efficiently at any flow up to itsrecommended capacity.

Third, and most important, energy costs are lowerthan costs associated with other separators becausethe impeller actually boosts the pressure across theseparator. This is an advantage over both

SEPARATIONCHAMBER hydrocyclone and screen systems. It allows the PSI

SOLID SEPARATOR to be used where otherseparator's pressure drop would reduce the pumpstation's output below the irrigation systemrequirements.

In addition to these performance benefits, the PSISOLID SEPARATOR is compact in design. Thereis also no need for backwashing. Solids are purgedfrom the collection chamber with only a smallamount of water. With no screens to repair or replace,maintenance costs can also be reduced.

Though no solids-removal system is perfect for everyapplication, the SOLID SEPARATOR from PSI canhandle more situations than most other devices.

Three models to choose from.Call for more information.
