Potable Water System General Locations and Operations

Potable Water System The potable water system provides fresh water for the following services on the fireboat: • Hot/Cold fresh water for wash-down and maintenance from hose bibs through out vessel • Hot/Cold fresh water for HAZMAT Corridor “fine” DECON • Hot/Cold fresh water at Main Deck Crane Pedestal Diver re-habilitation shower • Hot/Cold fresh water for Multipurpose Room Water Closet shower. • Hot/Cold fresh water for wash basins in Multipurpose Room Water Closet, Galley Basin and Boat Deck Water Closet, and Machinery Space Wash Basin in the Port VSP room. • Cold fresh water for flush toilets in Multipurpose Room and Boat Deck Water Closets. • Cold fresh water for Wynn Window washers for CIC windows and fore and aft Wheelhouse windows. • Cold fresh water to the Galley Ice Maker.

Potable Water System Potable Water Storage Potable Water is stored in an 850 US Gallon cylindrical, horizontal, polyethylene tank. This tank is located in the Tank Void

Potable Water System Potable Water Storage The Tank Void is entered through a single openable hatch in the EMS Recovery Room Deck. Note: This is technically a confined space so exercise tank entry procedures if you head down to check/inspect the Potable Water Tank.

Potable Water System Potable Water Storage Here is what the Potable Water Tank looks like down in the Tank Void

Potable Water System Potable Water Storage You get an additional 100 US gallons of potable water storage from the hot water heater, 60 US gallons from the Hydrophore. Both of these are in the VSP Room, Port, FWD. That gives us a total Potable Water capacity of 1000 US Gallons! Water Heater Hydrophore

Potable Water System Potable Water Fill Connection is located on the forward Main Deck, just in front of the Deck House on the Starboard Side. It is a 1 inch male Cam-Lock fitting with a ball valve. The builder will also provide us with a 1 inch female Cam-Lock to ¾ inch male garden hose adaptor.

Potable Water System Potable Water Fill From the main deck fill location, potable water drops down through the EMS Recovery Room, through the deck into the Tank Void. Note: Potable Water Tank Vent is in EMS Recovery Room! This was done because of CBRN boundary issues, and potable water had to be protected within the CBRN Citadel.

Potable Water System Potable Water Fill The potable water drops down into the Tank Void , directly into the Potable Water Tank

Potable Water System Potable Water Fill Note: When filling potable water tank, you need to be vigilant against overflowing the tank because the vent is inside the fireboat in the EMS Recovery Room. PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR TANK LEVEL! Potable Water Vent Line Potable Water Vent – EMS Recovery Room

Potable Water System Potable Water Gauging (Liquid Level) The Potable Water Tank is equipped with a sonic gauging sensor. It uses sound waves to indicate the liquid level in the tank.

Potable Water System Potable Water Gauging (Liquid Level) You can observe the Potable Water Tank level as a percentage full (or empty if you are a pessimist) on one of the Alarm Monitoring System (AMS) touch screen displays. Tank levels are on the “Tanks” page.

Potable Water System Potable Water Gauging (Liquid Level) If for some reason you lack confidence in the +/- %0. 2 accuracy of the electronic tank gauging device, you can always resort to monitoring the liquid level in the Potable Water Tank by going down in the Tank Void with a flash light and visualizing the water level through the tank. Note: Tank Void is technically a confined space. Observe proper tank entry procedures! Tank Gauging Sonic Transducer

Potable Water System Potable Water Pressure, Purification, and Heating Configuration and Operation System is designed for both pumps to operate in parallel. This provides more flow when multiple outlets are open. With two hose bibs running full open, both pumps run and maintain a system pressure between 50 to 55 psi. Also, if one pump fails, we still have the ability to run the system on a single pump while the OOS pump is being repaired (We just will not have full volume). System pressure is also maintained through a static pressure accumulating device (hydrophore). The internal bladder of the hydrophore helps the system maintain a working pressure of between 40 to 60 psi and minimizes the short cycling of the water pumps.

Almost all the valves in this system are Normally Open, so there will be little need to interact with this system once it is set up. We will now trace the system configuration from source to outlets: Pointing out the general valve positions, and water paths.
