WATER - the foremost requirement for life, and our lifestyles. The humble windmill has been used, for more than a millennium, to pump water and was the single, most important, piece of machinery which allowed our forebears to utulise land which was, otherwise, unable to sustain us in our agricultural and industrial endeavours. Windmills still harness the energy which is free to us all. We are proud to present The Ferguson Windmill for your assessment. Every effort has been made to combine simplicity of design with the best of materials and manufacturing procedures to bring you a product which has proven itself in service and reliability. Compare it with the alternatives. THE DESIGN The Ferguson Windmill is very sturdily constructed and has been designed to give a long life of useful service. The simplicity of design makes for fewer things to go wrong and therefore you can expect many many years of trouble free running. The tail-less fan and pivoting head run on high quality regreasable ballraces. The crank bearing is also regreasable. The pump is constructed from non-rust materials, i.e. bronze body - stainless steel pump rod - leather washers and stainless steel inlet valve in a brass body whilst the mast, pivoting head, blades, fan arms, screw anchors, etc. are all hot dip galvanised. PRACTICAL USES The Ferguson Windmill can pump an average of 2300 litres (500gals) of water per day and is able to lift up to 7.5 metres (25ft) and pump to a vertical height of 52 metres (175ft). In conjunction with an adequate reservoir this makes the mill ideally suited for stock watering, crop irrigation, household water and in fact any situation where there is a need to move medium volumes of water or other liquids. The pumping characteristics of the mill means that it is unnecessary to dig out large, costly, ponds or dams when there is a constant supply of water such as a spring or stream because the draw-off rate is low and allows the supply to replenish itself naturally. Marginal Water Supply Reticulation System SITING It should be noted that it is not always necessary to site the Windmill directly alongside the water source. It may be more practical to place the mill some distance from the water and possibly downhill in some cases so that the pump is gravity fed just as long as the maximum lift (suction) height is not exceeded when lifting water to the pump.

The Windmill mast and stays do not require concreteing into the ground, which greatly reduces assembly time. Full instructions for setup and erection are supplied.
