The annual rebuild of of floating aerators in a 14 acre waste water pond. Had 14-50 hp aerators. This was done every July and August to make sure no breakdowns in the winter. The waste water was from a textile mill that used 1.5 million gallons of water every 24 hours. It also contained all human waste from the mill of just over 400 employees.
We'd disconnect power and all anchor cables from the float and use a flat bottom boat to pull the units to the dam. There we had rigging to lift the motor and prop off the float. Was nothing unusual to find tampons and such on the props. The props had to be replaced because of wear. We'd pull one at a time and the others were still running. I was told there was so many air bubble from the aerators running that a person could not swim in it. Glad I never had to try.
I'll never forget that odor and last job I worked I asked first thing if this plant had waste water system. They didn't so I took the job. LOL Oh and you should have seen the tomato vines growing around the banks in the summer!!

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
