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.
