WATER SYSTEMS LAY-OUT
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of the potable water system is to supply water for

drinking to the galleys and hot and cold water to the washbasins
in the toilets for use by the passengers and crew.
The potable water system allows several galleys and toilets to

be fed from a single tank, so reducing the servicing time for
replenishment. If vacuum toilets are fitted they are flushed using
water from the potable water system.

13.19 - 1 Nov 2017

13.19 - 2 Nov 2017
The major components in the potable water system are:
 A tank for storing the potable water,
 An air pressure system to force the water from the tank,
 Distribution lines to deliver the water to the galleys and

lavatories,
 A filling system for tank replenishment through an

exterior service panel,
 A quantity indication system,
 Valves to drain the water from the system.

13.19 - 3 Nov 2017
WATER TANK
The potable water tank is stored under the passenger floor in a

cradle type structure; the tank is constructed of fiberglass with
metal bands bonded into the fiberglass, these bands act as
reinforcement for the tank and as a means of supporting it in the
cradle. Some older aircraft use stainless steel potable water
tanks. If the aircraft operates in cold climates it may be fitted
with an electric heater blanket to prevent the contents from
freezing. The quantity of water required will depend on the
number of passengers carried and the range of the aircraft.
Various pipelines are connected to the tank components such

as the:
 Tank drain,
 Fill connection,
 Overflow connection (with stand pipe),
 Air pressure connection,
 Supply lines (to galleys and lavatories).
A quantity transmitter system is installed to indicate the tank's

contents; panels on the ends of the tank enable interior
examinations and inspections to be carried out.

compressor, which will automatically start when the pneumatic
pressure falls below a predetermined pressure.
The pressurized air passes through the following components

before entering the water tank: -
 Filter, this normally uses a 'throwaway' paper element,
 Pressure regulator, this reduces and controls the air

pressure to about 30 psi,
 A pressure relief valve, which prevents the over

pressurization of the tank should the regulator
malfunction.
These components are usually located around the tank

assembly. On aircraft using a compressor a riser loop or
plumber's loop is incorporated to prevent water entering the
compressor, the top of the loop is higher than the distribution
ducting, therefore water will always go to the distribution lines
first. A pressure switch in the air pressurization line will start or
stop the compressor as the tank pressure varies.

13.19 - 6 Nov 2017

13.19 - 7 Nov 2017
WATER SYSTEM DISTRIBUTION
A main water distribution line is taken from the tank and is

routed up into the cabin ceiling area above the ceiling trim, from
their individual supply lines go to the toilets and galleys. The
distribution lines are usually flexible tubing enclosed in an
aluminum shroud. The flexible tube is normally reinforced with
fiber covering to prevent it from breaking due to freezing. The
outer shroud prevents a leaking water line from dripping onto
the ceiling panels and subsequently onto the passengers. The
shroud will conduct any leaking water to the lower fuselage area
via shroud drain tubes, where it can drain out of the fuselage via
the lower fuselage drains.
A quick disconnect fitting is located above each toilet and galley

to enable the supply line to be disconnected from the toilet or
galley when it has to be removed. A water shutoff valve is
installed at each galley and lavatory to isolate the galleys and
lavatories from the potable water system in case of a
maintenance or operational need.

13.19 - 8 Nov 2017

13.19 - 9 Nov 2017
WATER SERVICING
Passenger Potable Water Replenishment
The purpose of the potable water system is to supply suitable

treated water for drinking to the galleys and hot and cold water
to the wash basins in the toilets for use by the passengers and
the crew.
The storage water tank is usually situated below the cabin floor.
Its capacity will vary with aircraft type. The water tank is filled
from its own external passenger water service panel. The water
pressure used for replenishment will depend on the tank The water fill connection, under a dirt excluder cap, is where the

13.19 - 11 Nov 2017
The quantity gauge will only be required for part loads otherwise
the tank is replenished until it overflows. If cold conditions are
encountered whilst the aircraft is parked for long periods (i.e.,
overnight) it will be necessary to drain the water system to
prevent fractures caused by frozen lines. If frost damage is to
be avoided all the delivery lines and the tank must be" emptied.
A vent valve is incorporated to prevent a vapor lock occurring in

the wash basin taps by opening the tap lines to atmosphere,
later aircraft have self venting taps which will automatically
relieve the vapor lock,
Note: if the water system is drained ensure all the water heaters
are turned off.
On modern aircraft for water tank-servicing quantity pre-

selection via a panel located in the cabin is available. This is
made possible by automatic closure of fill valves when selected
quantity is reached. This optimizes aircraft performance and
eases servicing of aircraft.

 Use a strainer basket in the galley sinks to capture any

food and other small debris that may fall in the sinks.
Disposable baskets may be particularly convenient.
To prevent solids from forming in the drain system:
 Flush a small amount of water after milk products

the milk products do not mix directly with wine, fruit juice,
or other acidic liquids.

13.19 - 15 Nov 2017
AIRCRAFT WASTE WATER SYSTEM
INTRODUCTION
The provision of aircraft toilets is an essential requirement for

any aircraft carrying passengers over long distances. Without
toilet facilities an aircraft's range would be much reduced.
Although considered somewhat of a joke, aircraft toilets must be
maintained and serviced with care, there is no need for a toilet
or its compartment to give off smells if it is properly maintained.
The passengers' comfort and health must be protected. It is a
sign of the airline's diligence if the toilets are working correctly,
and they are clean and odor free.
There are three types of toilet fitted to aircraft. The type used
will depend upon the number of passengers the aircraft can
carry, and also the age of the aircraft. In all cases it is essential
that the relevant health precautions be observed whenever the
toilet is serviced. Due to the nature of the fluids carried in the
toilet, protection must also be given to the structure of the
aircraft to protect it from corrosion caused by these fluids.
The three types of toilet are:
 Removable toilet assembly,

 Liquid flush type,
 Vacuum toilet assembly.

13.19 - 16 Nov 2017
REMOVABLE TOILET ASSEMBLIES
The removable or carry out toilet is the simplest type of aircraft

toilet. This type of waste storage device is often called an Elsan
toilet, and is simply a storage bin, which is filled with a strong
chemical deodorant. A seat is fitted to the top rim of the bin and
when installed in the aircraft the bin is covered by a decorative
laminate material.
After the toilet has been used, the bin is removed complete with
its contents from the aircraft and the contents are disposed of in
an approved dumping site. The storage bin is refilled with the
correct amount of disinfectant and replaced in the aircraft and
recovered with the decorative shroud. Most removable toilet
assemblies are secured by a quick release method of
attachment such as pip-pins to facilitate removal and fitting. The
carry out toilet is usually fitted to the smaller types of aircraft
that operate over short ranges.

13.19 - 17 Nov 2017
TOILET SYSTEM LAY-OUT
LIQUID FLUSH TOILETS
Liquid flush toilets are the most common type of toilet found in
passenger aircraft, each toilet is completely self contained,
having its waste collection tank mounted directly below the toilet
bowl, as shown in Figure.
The toilet bowl and the top of the waste tank are normally
covered by a decorative laminate shroud, which also contains
the toilet seat and cover. The waste tanks are shaped to fit into
the structure of the aircraft and attached to the structure by tie-
rods. Directly below the waste tank is a drain fitting.
The toilet bowl is constructed of stainless steel and the tank

units can be of stainless steel or fiberglass laminate. The tank
capacity will vary depending on the number of passengers
carried and the number of toilets fitted to the aircraft; the usual
capacity is 20 gallons.
The tanks are filled with a pre-charge of a strong chemical

which is a disinfectant, dye and deodorant of about 3 gallons,
this will enable the toilet to be used about 100 times, after which
the toilet should be emptied, cleansed and recharged.

holding the discs apart determines the degree of filtration. A
stationary knife blade is mounted beside the disc stack, and the
blade extends into the slots created by the spacers. When the
filter is rotated by the motor all the waste is combed through the
slots by the cleaner blades and it is then broken down into liquid
waste. This type of filter will break down the waste particles to
300 microns.

VACUUM TOILETS
Vacuum Toilet Components
On an aircraft fitted with a number of liquid flush toilets there

passenger cabin and connected to a centralized storage tank by The toilet bowl is manufactured from stainless steel; some
pipelines. A typical vacuum toilet assembly is shown in Figure manufacturers coat the bowl with Teflon to give it a 'non-stick'
on the next page. effect. A rinse ring around the top of the bowl allows a supply of
clean flushing water to clean the bowl after use.
The vacuum toilet uses a waste container that has a negative
pressure inside it, (vacuum). When the remote toilet bowl is
flushed a valve opens and the waste is sucked down the
pipeline into the storage tank. Water is used for rinsing the bowl
but vacuum toilets use clean water from the drinking water tank,
this water once used also goes to the waste tank.
On large aircraft with many toilets two waste tanks are used, a
number of toilet bowls using one tank the remaining remote
toilets using the other tank. This arrangement ensures that if
one tank is full or not working, the rest of the toilets using the
remaining tank will still be operative.
Whilst the aircraft is flying at altitude a differential pressure

exists between the cabin and the ambient conditions, this
differential pressure can be used to evacuate the air from the
tanks. When the aircraft is at low altitudes or on the ground,
vacuum blowers are used to pump the air from the storage
tanks thus creating a vacuum.

13.19 - 23 Nov 2017
FLUSHING
Flush Control
The flush control contains a vacuum operated solenoid-

controlled valve, which is opened for flushing. It can be closed
by a manual shut off lever should the valve malfunction, thus
preventing a permanent leak of cabin pressure to atmosphere.
Water Control Valve
The water control valve is a solenoid-operated valve that opens

when the toilet is flushed to put a predetermined amount of
water into the flush ring. This valve can also be manually shut in
case of a leak of water into the cabin, or when the toilet
assembly is removed.
Timing Module
The timing module sequences the flush cycle, it is activated by

the flush handle.
Vacuum Breaker
The vacuum breaker is in the rinse water line between the rinse
ring in the toilet bowl and the water valve. It prevents water
being drawn back into the drinking water system from the rinse
ring.

13.19 - 24 Nov 2017

13.19 - 25 Nov 2017
Vacuum Toilet Operation
When the flush handle is operated the cycle is started:
 If the aircraft is at low altitude (below 16,000 ft) the

vacuum blowers are turned on.
 One second later the water valve is opened and pumps

a small amount (6 to 8 ounces) of water to the rinse ring
to clean the toilet bowl.
 The flush valve solenoid is energized, and the valve is

opened using vacuum power. The valve stays open for
four seconds to allow the waste to be sucked into the
waste tank.
 After the cycle is completed the vacuum blowers are

switched off, and the timer returns to the start ready for
the next cycle.

13.19 - 29 Nov 2017
FLUSHING THROUGH VACCUM BLOWERS
The vacuum blowers are mounted on the aircraft structure close

to the top of the storage tanks; they are connected to the tanks
by flexible rubber hoses. The blowers are powerful centrifugal
compressors that evacuate the tanks and are protected by
thermal switches to prevent motor overheat. The blowers are
controlled by the flush switches in the toilets and by aneroid
switches, which will automatically start the motor when the
toilets are flushed and the aircraft altitude is below 16,000 feet.
The motors are cooled by air drawn into the motors via an air
filter, which ensures that no foreign objects are drawn into the
motor.

13.19 - 30 Nov 2017
SERVICING AND MAINTENANCE
Toilet Servicing
Toilets are emptied from a toilet servicing point, which is usually

on the underside of the fuselage. A toilet truck with a hose and
connection is fitted to the drain point on the aircraft, the toilet
vehicle's tank is then evacuated and a drain valve is opened in
the drain tube of the toilet. The waste is sucked into the
vehicle's tank from the toilet storage tank.
Also on the toilet vehicle is a tank containing the pre-charge

fluid, this is pumped into the storage tank through the tank flush
line (liquid flush toilets). Vacuum toilets require no pre-charge
fluid, except for cleaning the tank at regular intervals through
the rinse fittings.

unless the plug is fitted and the exterior panel will not lie flush if
the cap is not secured.  On completion of maintenance of toilet systems you
should clean all the tools used.
 Wash your hands with soap and water when you

complete work on the waste system especially before
eating or smoking.
 Do not run the flush motor if the toilet tank is empty as

overheating could occur.
 Mop up all spilt liquids immediately to prevent corrosion

occurring to the aircraft structure.
 Do not drop cigarette ends down the toilet, as many

toilet pipelines are plastic.
Always use rubber gloves when you do work on the toilet waste
system or on parts that have contamination from the waste
system. Do not work on the waste system and the potable water
system at the same time to prevent contamination of the potable
water system.
