OPERATION.
Operation of the 40K Water Distribution System is performed in two modes, fill and discharge. In the fill mode,
water is pumped to and stored in the 20,000 gallon tanks. In the discharge mode, water is taken from the
storage tanks and supplied to the distribution points. The system can operate in both fill mode and discharge
mode at the same time.
a. Fill Mode.
(1) Open gate valves V1, V2, V3 and V6,
NOTE
Water tanks may be filled separately by closing either gate valve V3 or V6.
(2) Start and operate 125 GPM pump located at water source (refer to TM 5-4320-304-14 or
TM 10-4320-309-14).
(3) Allow water to flow into water tank(s) until full, or required amount is stored.
(4) Shut down 125 GPM pump located at water source (refer to TM 5-4320-304-14 or
TM 10-4320-309-14).
(5) Close gate valves V1, V2, V3 and V6.
b. Discharge Mode.
NOTE
Water tanks may be discharged separately by closing either gate valve V4
or V5.
(1) Open gate valve V4 and V5.
(2) If 125 GPM pump only will be used for discharge, open gate valves V8 and V10. If 350 GPM pump
only will be used for discharge, open gate valves V7 and V9. If both 125 and 350 GPM pumps
will be used for discharge, open gate valves V7, V8, V9 and V10.
(3) Start and operate 125 GPM pump and/or 350 GPM pump (refer to TM 5-4320-304-14, TM
10-4320-309-14 or TM5-4320-226-14 as applicable).
(4) Start and operate hypochlorination unit (Refer to TM 5-4610-233-13&P).
(5) Discharge water from hose connection kit by opening gate valves V11 through V18, as required.
(6) Discharge water from hose nozzle connection kit by opening valves V19, V20, V21, orV22 and
squeezing control handles on distribution nozzles.
(7) Discharge water from bag filler connections by opening gate valves V23, V24, or V25 and
squeezing control handles on distribution nozzles.
(8) When discharge operation is complete, shutdown 125 and/or 350 GPM pumps (refer to
TM 5-4320-304-14, TM 10-4320-309-14 or TM 5-4320-226-14 as applicable).
