Water Distribution in
Building
Water Main
- The public water connection which are laid underground
along the streets where the house service is connected.

Because of the water stored inside the tank, water supply distribution is
not affected by the peak load hour even if the pressure at the water main
becomes considerably low.
Power interruptions will not in any manner affects the water supply inside
the building.
In case the pumping unit breaks down, the time required to replace parts
will not affect the regular supply of water.
DISADVANTAGES:

The water inside the tank is exposed to the natural elements of weather,
subject to contamination.
The water distribution unit has many working parts that require higher
maintenance cost.
The pumping unit and the entire installation throughout the building
occupies valuable spaces.
It requires stronger foundation and other structure to sustain the heavy
DISADVANTAGE
The only disadvantage of the air pressurized water distribution system is the
interruption of water supply.
ADVANTAGES:
1. Eliminate the construction of large house water tank.
2. Avoid cost of heavy structures to carry the house
tank.
3. Eliminate periodic cost.
Pressure
- Is the force required to move the water inside the
pipe.
Static Pressure - the pressure exerted by the water at rest.
Normal Pressure the pressure range measured over a period
of 24 hours.
*Pressure reducing valve installing this can minimize the
excessive water pressure
Critical Pressure the maximum and minimum pressure at
which proper function of the water supply system can be
maintained
Friction Head Loss the loss in rate of flow, due to friction
between the water and the walls of the pipe
Pressure Lose The variations in pressure between the water
main and the outlet end of the water service.
