mixture of chlorine and have a strength of at least: - ANSWER ✔ 100 ppm
Contamination of the potable water system with ethylene glycol may be
explained by: - ANSWER ✔ *Leaking heat exchanger on a water heater.
What is the ABYC standard referencing potable water? - ANSWER ✔ H-23
What component is intended to maintain a stable pressure within a potable water
system and to minimize pump cycling? - ANSWER ✔ Accumulator tank.
List components of potable water system in order from the deck fill - ANSWER ✔
*
*

What is the desired operating pressure within a potable water system found on
board boats? - ANSWER ✔ 35-50 psi
What is the main job of a potable water system? - ANSWER ✔ To deliver drinking
water without introducing detectable taste, odor, or color.
If the potable water system includes a water heater tank, what shall be located on
the water heater? - ANSWER ✔ Pressure relief valve.
What is the first component that tends to freeze in a potable water system? -
ANSWER ✔ Faucets
What is the function of a type I or II MSD - ANSWER ✔ Treat waste to reduce
bacteria and visible solids, and discharge directly overboard. Type II is more
powerful.
What is the function of a type III MSD? - ANSWER ✔ Head connected directly to a
holding tank which can be emptied at marinas and pump-out stations.
What is the function of a Y-valve in MSDs - ANSWER ✔ Allow waste to be diverted
and discharged directly overboard (outside 3-mile discharge limit)
What is a portable toilet? - ANSWER ✔ A fully self-contained head. Upper section
holds water for flushing. Treated water and waste are flushed to bottom each
time. May be used for several days before pump out is needed. Not permanently
installed and legal to use on all waters.
