Section III. TECHNICAL PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION

GENERAL.
The water distribution system described in this manual is configured for maximum storage and distribution
capacity. Your operating requirements will determine how many of the system components must be con-
nected and in what configuration. Additional components are available in the accessory kit to adapt the sys
tem to varying site and operational needs. Another water system maybe connected to this equipment to in-
crease storage and/or distribution capacity.
Water used in the 40K system is supplied by the Tactical Water Distribution pipeline or other source. Water
drawn into the 40K system by the 125 or 350 GPM pump is supplied to the water storage tanks through 4-inch
collapsible discharge hoses. Control of water flow between the water supply pump and the water tanks is
performed by opening or dosing gate valves on the filler side of the dual tank connection kit. The tanks may
be filled at the same time or filled separately, depending on operating requirements. By filling one 20,000 gal-
lon water tank at a time, the system can discharge water almost immediately after set up.
Potable water is stored in the 20,000 gallon collapsible fabric tanks until needed. When water is required
downstream, gate valves on the discharge side of the dual tank connection kit are opened. Water then flows
from the tank(s) to the suction side of the 350 and 125 GPM discharge pumps. For detailed water tank prin-
ciples of operation, refer to TM 5-5430-226-12.
