    Study Notes

    Water Tank Types

    • A water tank that uses compressed air over water to provide pressure is called a hydropneumatic tank.

    Lead and Copper Rule

    • The Lead and Copper Rule limits the amount of lead in pipes and fittings.
    • Pipes and fittings cannot contain more than 0.25% lead.
    • Solder and flux cannot contain more than 0.2% lead.

    Chlorine Residual Testing

    • DPD is used as an indicator when testing for chlorine residual.
    • When DPD is added to water containing chlorine, the sample turns red.

    Isolating Water Leaks

    • The most common valve used for isolating water leaks is the gate valve.

    Water Hammer

    • Opening or closing a valve or hydrant too quickly can cause water hammer in a distribution system.

    Distribution System Pumps

    • The most common pump in distribution systems is a centrifugal pump.

    Water Tank Types

    • A water tank that uses compressed air over water to provide pressure is called a hydro-pneumatic tank.

    Lead and Copper Rule

    • The Lead and Copper Rule limits the amount of lead in pipes and fittings.
    • Pipes and fittings cannot contain more than 0.25% lead.
    • Solder and flux cannot contain more than 0.2% lead.

    Chlorine Residual Testing

    • DPD (N,N-Diethyl-p-phenylenediamine) is used as an indicator to test for chlorine residual in water.
    • DPD reacts with chlorine and turns the water sample red.

    Common Water Leak Isolation Valves

    • Gate valves are the most common valves for isolating water leaks.

    Water Hammer in Distribution Systems

    • Opening or closing valves or hydrants too quickly can cause water hammer.
    • Water hammer is a sudden pressure surge in a water distribution system.

    Common Distribution System Pump

    • Centrifugal pumps are the most common pumps used in water distribution systems.
