Q

formed through a hollow rod. can reach up to 15 meters.

A

Driven Well

17
Q

similar to driven wells but does not use a hollow rod and can reach up to 1000 meters. it is commonly used to dig oil.

A

· Drilled Wells –

18
Q

Wells must be ? feet away from septic tanks and livestock feedlots/ leach fields.

A

100

19
Q

Wells must be located on

A

higher ground

20
Q

The deeper the well, the better

A

the filtration.

21
Q

water is sucked into a sealed vacuum with the use of a pump.

A

Piston pumps

22
Q

water is drawn in a single motion.

A
  1. Single Action (Piston Pump)
23
Q

water is drawn in double motion.

A
  1. Double Action (Piston Pump)
24
Q

water is drawn inside the chamber and discharged using centrifugal force.

A

Centrifugal Pumps –

25
Q

piston pump that acts upon action. it only delivers water when you pump it. Ex. Poso.

A
  1. Reciprocating pump
26
Q

a piston pump that makes use of a pump driver. can discharge 900 to 1200 GPM

A
  1. Rotary pump –
27
Q

a centrifugal pump where you submerge the pump into the water and sucks it.

A
  1. Submersible pump –
28
Q

a centrifugal pump where it is placed on areas to remove excess water.

A
  1. Slump pump
29
Q

a very big centrifugal pump. can discharge 2000 GPM.

A
  1. Turbine pump
30
Q

relies on gravity to distribute water to fixtures.

A

Overhead Tanks –

31
Q

built underground and connected with a pump.

A

Cistern Tanks

32
Q

uses air pressure to distribute water. often used if the regular pressure from the supply main is not enough. Preferably installed on buildings with 2-3 storeys high.

A

Pneumatic Water Tanks

33
Q

belongs in the hot water tanks. it is a small tank with 30-60 diameter circular base reaching 180 cm max length. Woking limit is at 85-150 PSI.

A

Range Boiler

34
Q

a large hot water tank. 60-130cm in diameter; 5m max length. 65-100 PSI.

A

Storage Boiler

35
Q

to isolate the water distribution from one fixture to another. A valve is anything that controls the distribution of water. The placement of valves must be too visible but also accessible.

A

Valve

36
Q

used mainly to completely close or completely open the water line. They do not control the water flow. Placed before the water meter.

A
  1. Gate Valve (A.K.A Full-Way Valve)
37
Q

2 types of Gate Vale:

A

a. Wedge shape/Tapered disc
b. Double disc Valve

38
Q

controls the flow of the water with a moveable spindle (knob). one side of the valve is an inlet. Has a bulbous body.

A
  1. Globe valve
39
Q

it prevents reversal of flow (backflow). it has a disc (flapper) that follow the usual flow of the line that prevents an opposite direction to pass.

A
  1. Check Valve
40
Q

4 types of Check Valve:

A

a. Swing Check Valve

b. Lift Check Valve

c. Vertical Check Valve

d. Horizontal Check Valve

41
Q

used to make a 90-degree turn in the water line.

A
  1. Angle Valve –
42
Q

used to prevent backflow when the pump is off.

A
  1. Foot Valve (A.K.A Retention Valve) –
