EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION AND DATA
Standard Product Water Distribution System (MC-TWPS and A-TWPS) (see Figure 28)
The standard product water distribution system stores the potable product water produced by the TWPS
in two 3000-gallon storage tanks and provides up to 125 gpm total distribution capacity through two
distribution nozzles. The standard product water distribution system includes the following major
components (listed in the general flow sequence through the system):
Four 1 in. x 10-ft. blue-banded suction hoses. Discharge the product water from the TWPS
to the one of the distribution tanks (or to the NBC system if used.)
Adaptor A-15. Connects the product water suction hose to the inlet of one of the product water
distribution storage tanks. Adaptor A-15 includes a shut-off valve.
Two 3000-gallon collapsible storage tanks T-3 and T-4.
Two 2-in. x 5-ft. blue-banded suction hoses and Adaptor A-07. Connect the storage tanks to
each other and to the distribution pump. Adaptor A-07 includes a shut-off valve.
Motor-Driven Distribution Pump P-7. Distribution Pump P-7 is interchangeable with the Motor-
Driven Raw Water Pump P-2.
Adaptor A-08. Connects the P-7 pump outlet to the distribution hoses.
Two 2-in. x 65-ft. blue-banded discharge distribution hoses.
Two Dispensing Nozzles V-523A and V-523B. Connect to the end of the distribution hoses and
are used to dispense product water as needed.
One 5/8-in. x 50-ft. auxiliary hose. Can be connected Pump Outlet Adaptor A-08 in place of the
one of the distribution hoses to provide water back to the TWPS for MF and RO cleaning and for
general purpose potable water use.
Auxiliary Hose Valve V-522. Connected at the end of the auxiliary hose. Used to turn on or
shut off the flow of water as needed.
