Method and apparatus for cycling or drawing down water stored in pressure tanks installed on water service lines supplied by water supply systems

摘要

This method and apparatus relates to water supply demand challenges related to available water reserves caused by seasonal and diurnal peak water demand, emergency water demand such as firefighting efforts and service or supply interruptions for municipal or rural water systems, while also reducing incidence of stagnation in connected pressure tank(s); and more particularly to a water storage apparatus that uses one cycle valve, at least one pressure tank and at least one check valve connected to water service lines that are connected to water mainlines that are connected to municipal or rural water systems. This method and apparatus can reduce water system peak demand challenges and automatically cycle or draw down pressure tanks, while storing regularly refreshed water for use by the water user or customer during service or supply interruptions; commonly called emergency water storage.
