Water Storage Reservoir
Water Storage Reservoir
(OP)
I am a young engineer with a question...
We have a non-pressurized water storage reservoir for a building that must hold 3 days capacity. City pressure will fill the tank, but the city pressure is limited(it's in former Soviet country). IPC requires a backflow device, but does code specify where to put the backflow in relation to the reservoir? I would like to use city pressure to go through the backflow and avoiding having to pump through that loss.
Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help!
