Q

A pneumatic pressure tank is installed in a sanitary system to __________.

🔍 Key Concepts

• Pneumatic pressure tank purpose in a fresh water/sanitary system • How air pressure and stored volume affect pump operation • Meaning of pump cycling (starting and stopping frequently)

💭 Think About

• Think about what happens if a pump turns on every time a small amount of water is used. How would a pressure tank change that? • Does a pneumatic pressure tank normally boost a pump beyond its design, or does it help manage demand between pump runs? • Which option describes a system-wide effect over time rather than a momentary effect at the pump suction?

✅ Before You Answer

• Check which choice describes a function related to on/off frequency of the pump, not just pressure level or flow rate. • Eliminate any choices that suggest the tank changes the pump’s inherent capability (its maximum pressure or flow). • Confirm that the correct choice matches the idea of using stored pressurized water to smooth out demand in the sanitary system.
