Direct Cold Water Supply System For efficient operation, a high-pressure water supply is essential particularly at periods of peak demand. Pipe work is minimal and the storage cistern supplying the hot water cylinder need only have 115 litres capacity. The cistern may be located within the airing cupboard or be combined with the hot water cylinder. Drinking water is available at every draw-off point and maintenance valves should be fitted to isolate each section of pipework. With every outlet supplied from the ‘main, the possibility of back siphonage must be considered. Back siphonage may occur when there is a high demand on the main. Negative pressure can then draw water back into the main from a submerged inlet, e.g. a rubber tube attached to a tap or a shower fitting without a check valve facility left lying in dirty bath water.SS Sees Serene ae eee vith he ht wary, Drinking waters avis at eer ea pit and msntennce sales shoul be fied io late ach esto fppework.
