Porosity
Is the extent to which a material will restore liquids.
Resiliency
A material can react to a shock without breaking or cracking.
Coving
Is a curved sealed edge place between the floor in the wall to illuminate sharp corners or gaps that would be impossible to clean
NSF

Booster heater
Water to temperature is required for hot water sanitizing.
Cross connection
Is a physical link between safe water in dirty water which can come from drain sewers or other waste water sources
Backflow
Is the reverse flow of contaminants through a cross connection into a drinkable water supply
Backsiphonage
Backflow can be the result of pressure pushing contaminants back into the water supply it can also happen when I water use in one area of the operation creates a vacuum in the plumbing system that sticks contaminants back into the water supply
Vacuum breaker
Is a mechanical device that prevents backsiphonage I hit does this by closing a check valve and sealing the water supply line shut when water flow is stopped
Airgap
Is in air space that separates a water supply outlet from a potential contaminated source.
Requirements at a handwashing station
Hot and cold running water the water must be drinkable and meat temperature and pressure requirements
Soap the soap can be liquid bar or powder
A way to dry hands disposable paper towels or a continuous towel system that supplies the user with a clean towel can be used Hantz can also be dried with a hand dryer using either warm air or temperature hair delivering at High velocity
Garbage container garbage containers are required if disposable paper towels are used
