Where should drain valves be fitted in a cold water supply system?

The key word is "drain", meaning it works by gravity, so a drain value should be at the lowest point in the system. Typically there is one just past the meter. If a lawn irrigation system is a branch of the main system it should have its' own drain valve for winterizing it. You can purchase stop valves (or shutoff valves) with built-in drain or bleeder valves.


Why isn't the drain valve in the orbit misting system not misting?

Drain valves are not designed to mist. They are designed to evacuate liquid that is still in the line after the water is turned off.

Are there check valves for washing machines?

Yes, there are check valves specifically designed for washing machines. These valves prevent backflow of water, ensuring that the water flows only in one direction and preventing any potential leaks or contamination from the drain.

Always consult the manufacturer's guidelines for compatibility and installation instructions.

Is return drain better than main drain?

A "return drain" in reality would be called a return fitting . It's the one where the filterer, heated water goes back to the pool thus RETURN. Main Drain is that grate looking device at the deep end of the pool on the bottom where water is sucked from the pool and sent to the pump - the part of the equipment with the motor and clear lid. The filter - sometimes wrongly referred to as the pump - is the large round or vertically rectangular shaped tank. You need both. k


How do you vacuum the waste in your below ground swimming pool?

Your question seems too easy as it is a basic requirement of pool cleaning. However: Attach your vacuum head to your side outlet (unscrew the cover in the side of the pool) using a floating hose. turn off the valves to the bottom drain and the skimmers, leave the pump setting on filtration, fill the hose with water and turn on the pump. After vacuuming the bottom of the pool, switch off pump and return valves to previous setting. be sure to backwash the filter after cleaning if required.


What is the layout and configuration of a pool pump plumbing diagram?

A pool pump plumbing diagram typically consists of a pump, filter, heater, and various pipes and valves that connect them together. The pump draws water from the pool through a skimmer and main drain, then pushes it through the filter to remove debris. The filtered water is then heated by the heater before returning to the pool through return lines. Valves are used to control the flow of water and direct it to different components as needed.


How do you drain a roof water tank?

To drain a roof water tank, first, ensure that the water supply is turned off and any necessary valves are closed. Next, connect a hose to the tank's drain outlet, directing the other end to a suitable drainage area. Open the drain valve to allow the water to flow out, and monitor the process to avoid overflow. Once drained, clean the tank if needed before closing the valve and disconnecting the hose.
