COPY THE STANDARD POOL CLEANER COMPANY CANTON, OHIO September 235, 1942 University of Kansas Lawrence, Kansas Attention: Mr. F, C, Allen, Director of Physical Education Gentlemen: In reply to your letter of September 19th we are sorry we have no re-built cleaners but will furnish the j##700 as per our | quotation of July 30th. If you can give us an A-10 priority please do so but in any case we will furnish the cleaner providing you place your order at once. We have only a very limited stock of these that we can sell and after these are sold we cannot furnish them except on a U. 5. government contract. This quotation is of course subject to prior sale. If we have the cleaner when your order is received we can ship immediately and it should reach you within 10 days. Yours very truly, THE STANDARD POOL CLEANER COMPANY (Signed) Carl Amiet Sales Manager Description of TUEC No. 700 Hand Model Cleaner The handles are furnished in sections of 7/2 feet each made of 1% inch diameter brass tubing with bronze connections. These handles are attached to the cleaning tool and also connected together by slip connections with bronze clamps which eliminates the possibility of their coming apart while the cleaner is being used. _TUEC 1’ inch inside diameter, specially constructed, rubber covered, rubber lined, reinforced hose is furnished. The inlet for connecting the cleaner to the piping is made of bronze with smooth taper to fit tapered terminal of the hose. A bronze plug is furnished for closing the inlet when not in use. The copper floats furnished for suspending the hose on the top of the water are 6/2 inches in diameter and are complete with clamp for attaching to the hose. INSTRUCTIONS FOR INSTALLING AND USING TUEC No. 700 HAND MODEL CLEANER Inlet connections should be approximately 8 inches below the water line and located so that all parts can be reached with the shortest hose possible. All pipe connections should be 2 inch female to receive 2 inch male thread of inlets. The capacity of the pump to operate this satisfactorily should be 50 to 60 gallons per minute. Either the filter pump or a portable pump can be used. (If a portable pump is used an inlet should be installed on the intake of the pump and no inlets are required on the inside of the pool.) If the filter pump is used the discharge should not be returned to the filter. A water strainer should be installed to keep heavy material out of the pump. If it is necessary to place inlet connections above the water line, provisions should be made for priming the pump so that the seal will not be broken if your pump is not self-priming. When the brush has become worn so that it is necessary to re-adjust, loosen the two screws which hold the brush in place, set the brush to the proper position and tighten the screws. The bristles should extend 1/16 inch below the wheels to insure proper cleaning. With this adjustment the brush will give maximum service until the bristles are entirely worn off. It can then be easily removed and returned to the factory for re-bristling. It is advisable to brush down the sides with a TUEC wall brush the night before the pool is to be cleaned allowing the sediment to settle on the floor of the pool so that it can be removed by the cleaner. To put the cleaner in operation attach one end of the hose to the cleaning tool, attach the handle;lower the cleaner to the floor-of the pool,-clamp the floats to the hose as the hose is put into the pool, spacing them so the hose is suspended on the top of the water, attach the other end of the hose to the inlet, start the pump and move the cleaner back and forth over the floor of the pool. This is operated by one man working from the sides of the pool.

It is designed for pools not over 30 feet in width, but wider pools can be cleaned providing more sections of handles are used as the cleaner is equipped with three rubber wheels (two in front and one in the rear) which carry the entire weight and allow it to ride flat on the floor regardless of the position of the handle. The nozzle is so designed that the suction is equally distributed over the entire width and controlled by a deflector which extends four inches in front of the nozzle creating a high velocity on the floor and at the nozzle opening, preventing sediment arising in the water before it is taken up by the cleaner. The cleaner is 18 inches wide with the nozzle opening and brush extending the full width giving full 18 inch cleaning surface and insuring proper cleaning up to the edge of the pool. The brush is adjustable and easily set to all types of floors. The rear wheel being a swivel castor makes the cleaner very easily operated. Due to the width, efficiency and ease of operation the cleaning time can be cut as much as fifty per cent. The cleaner is made entirely of high grade bronze, finished natural, with the deflector shielding and protecting the front wheels giving the entire unit a streamline appearance.

Gentlemen: In reply to your letter of July 24th we are enclosing a folder describing our #700 DeIuxe model cleaner which is our latest and best cleaner. You will find a complete description of this cleaner on this folder and by carefully going over this you will readily see the many advantages of this cleaner. The .price of this model consisting of the cleaning tool, one 7 1/2 foot brass handle, one 7 foot wood handle, 50 feet. 1 1/2" rubber covered and rubber lined hose with bronze terminals, 7 floats and one inlet is $170.00, F. 0. B. Canton. If you are using the old screw type inlet we will furnish the screw type swivel terminal instead of the inlet. We will allow you $20.00 for your old Tuece cleaner if you will return it to us prepaid. ou Ww not need to return th hose. We are sorry we can not furnish a pump. Ordinarily we furnish portable pumps but at present we can not get them unless we have an A-1l-K or better priority. Our suggestion would be to try and have your present pump re-built by the people that manufactured it as new pumps of any kind require a very high priority but they no doubt can get replacement parts for an old one. We have no representative near you that we could have call but if you can get your pump repaired, we can furnish the cleaner and you will have no trouble putting it in operation. In placing an order please give us the best priority rating you can. As you state the Navy mechanics are stationed at your university, they may help you with a priority...
