1. What is the significance of maintaining adequate spacing between plumbing fixtures
during installation?
To enhance the aesthetic appeal of the bathroom or kitchen
To ensure proper ventilation around the fixtures
To facilitate accessibility and ease of use for maintenance and operation
To reduce the overall cost of plumbing materials
2. What is the main purpose of the water storage facility?
To allow neighborhoods in the community to have their own storage facility
To maintain a constant pressure at all times on every consumer's tap
To provide a sufficient amount of water to average or equalize The daily
demands on the water supply system
To store water after treatment until it is properly aged
3. Wells that serve individual water supply systems are classified as driven, dug, drilled,
and _____
Bored
Tapped
Machined
Holed
4. It is a positive displacement reciprocating pump in which a plunger is driven
backwards and forwards, or up and down by a mechanical working head. Water is
sucked into a sealed vacuum by use of a piston.
Piston pump
Reciprocating pump
Jet (ejector) pump
,Turbine pump
,5. Which of the following will cause taste and odor problems in water supplies?
Coke oven emissions
Oil refinery wastes
Algae
All of the above
6. What is the primary function of a water treatment facility within a water supply
system?
To store water for future use
To treat and purify water before distribution
To monitor water pressure levels
To construct plumbing fixtures
7. A positive displacement pump is a pump that
has positive, unlimited suction capabilities.
discharges an equal amount of fluid each cycle.
permits positive control over discharge pressures.
is suitable only for pumping hydraulic fluids.
8. When compared to a centrifugal pump, turbine pumps have the following
advantages, except:
Cost
Greater pumping efficiency
It does not need to be primed
It is easily used with surface water systems
9. What feature in water supply is NOT advisable to plumbing fixtures, devices and
opportunities?
Bacterial quality
Adequate pressure
, Sufficient volume
Without undue noise
10. What impact does peak water demand have on the efficiency of water distribution
systems?
It increases the overall pressure and flow within the system.
It can cause system pressures to drop, affecting distribution efficiency.
It has no significant effect on water distribution systems.
It allows for better management of water resources.
11. With this type of cold water distribution system, water is obtained directly from a
municipal distribution system or from a private supply at approximately 350 kPa:
A. direct pressure system
B. house tank system
C. downfeed system
D. constant pressure with a pneumatic tank system
12. A well constructed by driving an iron pipe.
Drilled Well
Driven Well
13. What are the primary benefits of ensuring adequate ventilation and lighting in
restroom facilities?
To enhance aesthetic appeal and reduce maintenance costs
To improve air quality, minimize unpleasant odors, and ensure user safety
To increase water pressure and facilitate plumbing repairs
To provide a comfortable temperature and reduce energy consumption
14. Which of the following properties is essential for plumbing fixtures to promote
effective sanitation and hygiene?
Porous materials that can absorb water
Smooth and non-absorbent surfaces
