Dear Sirs:

Our Mr. Branchfield returned to the office this morn-
ing and advised us that the job was complete now with the
exception of course of the gauges. Just when these gauges
will be delivered we are unable to say, as the manufacturer
will not commit himself as to the exact shipping date, however,
just as soon as they are received we will deliver them to you
promptly.

While discussing your layout with Mr. Branchfield, he
suggested that we write you advising that when operating the
filter extreme care should be taken, expecially during the
washing process. In other words, when washing the filter, the
operator should be careful and open the wash valve very slowly
in order not to disturb the sand and gravel bed.

In addition, Mr. Branchfield thought it might be well
if all of the piping be painted, as this would prolong the life
somewhat and prevent additional rusting, as according to Mr.
Branchfield the equipment will not last for a long while due to
the age.

Incidently, we understand from Mr. Branchfield that you
are using a pulverized alum for coagulant. We suggest that you
substitute lump alum, as this type is more suitable for pressure
filters.

We trust that the equipment is working satisfactorily
and that a good clear water is being obtained in the pool, how-
ever, should you experience any trouble, please let us know and
we shall attempt to attend to it promptly.

Very truly yours,
