INTRODUCTION
The water and waste systems include potable water, lavatory waste equipment and system
controls.
Two potable water systems store and supply potable water to the galley and lavatory. The
forward water system supplies potable water to the water dispenser and coffee maker in the
galley. The aft water system supplies wash water to the lavatory sink. Both water systems
are controlled from a single control panel located in the galley. Each water system has a
servicing panel located on the right forward and aft external fuselage. Each servicing panel
has controls for filling or draining of the related potable water system.
The lavatory waste system consists of a waste holding tank containing flushing fluid and a
servicing panel. The servicing panel is located on the right aft external fuselage. System
controls are provided to drain, rinse, prime and flush the toilet.

POTABLE WATER SYSTEM

The potable water system stores, supplies and controls the flow of water to the galley and
lavatory. Potable water for the coffee maker, water dispenser and galley wash basin is
stored in the forward water tank. Potable water for the lavatory wash basin is stored in the
aft water tank. Each tank has a water level/temperature probe and a heater. System power
on/off switches, water tank level lights and system circuit breakers are located on the galley
control panel in the galley. The forward and aft water systems are independent, but are
controlled by a single potable water system electronic control unit (ECU) located in the
avionics compartment. The ECU controls the tank heaters, pumps and provides water level
indications to the control panel.
Potable water is supplied to the galley from a single 5 USG (19 LTR) water tank located
under the galley floor. Potable water is supplied to the galley by an ECU controlled pump,
which maintains the water supply line pressure to the galley. The ECU controls the galley
tank heater to maintain the water temperature between 10 to 20_C (50 -- 68_F). Each tank
heater contains a thermal fuse for overheat protection, which removes power to the heater
when it exceeds a preset point and turns on the OVHT light on the galley control panel.
Potable water is supplied to the galley from a single 8 USG (30 LTR) water tank located
under the galley floor. Potable water is supplied to the galley by an ECU controlled pump,
which maintains the water supply line pressure to the galley. The ECU controls the galley
tank heater to maintain the water temperature between 10 to 20_C (50 -- 68_F). Each tank
heater contains a thermal fuse for overheat protection which removes power to the heater
when it exceeds a preset point and turns on the OVHT light on the galley control panel.
<0080>

Potable water is supplied to the lavatory sink from a single 5 USG (19 LTR) water tank
located in the baggage compartment. Potable water is supplied to the lavatory by a pump
which is controlled by the sink faucet selection. Wash basin water is heated to 25 5_C
(77 9_F).
A water level/temperature probe is installed in each tank and supplies level and temperature
information to the ECU. The ECU then uses the information to control the tank heaters and
to illuminate the respective empty, 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 or full level indicator on the galley control
panel.
Electrical power for the ECU, tank heaters and line heaters is controlled by the respective
galley and lavatory ON/OFF switches on the galley control panel.
Effectivity:

S Airplanes Pre SB 601R-- 38-- 19 thru 22

Each system provides drainage of used water overboard through drain masts on the bottom of
the fuselage. All components that could possibly freeze are heated and/or insulated to
maintain the component temperature above the freezing point.

CAUTION
In flight, if the galley or lavatory ON/OFF switch is
inadvertently selected OFF, power will be removed
from the corresponding mast heater. Continued use
of the respective drain system may cause ice
accumulation on the drain mast which may detach and
cause damage to the aircraft. <Pre SB 601R--38--19 thru 22>
Effectivity:

S Airplanes Post SB 601R-- 38-- 19 thru 22

Each system provides drainage of used water overboard through drain masts on the bottom of
the fuselage. All components that are likely to freeze are heated and/or insulated to maintain
the component temperature abovethe freezing point. The drain mast heaters are continuously
powered from AC utility bus 2. This is done to prevent ice build--up on the drain masts, in
flight, if the galley or lavatory ON/OFF switch is inadvertently selected OFF. Power can be
removed from the drain masts by opening the LINE HTR circuit breakers on the potable water
system control panel or by removing power from AC utility bus 2.

SERVICING
Each potable water system has a service panel located on the right side of the external
fuselage. The galley service panel is forward and the lavatory service panel aft. Each
service panel has a water fill port and a control handle.
When the control handle is positioned to the FILL position, water can be pumped into the
system using the fill adapter. When the tank is full, water flows out through the overboard
drain mast. When the control handle is placed in the DRAIN position and pulled, the potable
water is drained from the tank through the drain mast.
Effectivity:

S Airplanes Post SB 601R-- 38-- 19 thru 22

When the control handle is positioned to the FILL position, water can be pumped into the
system using the fill adapter. When the tank is full, water flows out through the overboard drain
mast. When the control handle is placed in the DRAIN position and pulled, the potable water is
drained from the tank through the drain mast. The control handle must be returned to the
vertical (closed) position or the serving door will not close.

LAVATORY WASTE SYSTEM

The lavatory waste system stores waste material from the lavatory toilet and provides a
means of flushing the toilet bowl. The toilet assembly is self-contained and consists of a
integral seat and bowl assembly, holding tank, electric pump, timer, filter, flush handle and
service panel.
The holding tank holds the deodorant flushing solution and waste material until removed by
ground servicing personnel.
When the toilet flush handle is pushed, a timer energizes the electric pump for 10 seconds.
The pump draws the flushing fluid from the tank, through a filter, and sends it out through the
bowl assembly flush ring.
The system is serviced by means of a lavatory service panel, located on the right side of the
aft fuselage. When the service vehicle drain line is connected to the drain port, the T-handle
is pulled then rotated to the left. This opens the holding tank drain valve, on the bottom of
the tank, allowing the tank to empty through the drain line.
Once the holding tank is emptied, rinsing agent and flushing fluid are sent through the
charging port, flushing and cleaning the tank and lines. The T-handle is then turned to the
right and pushed in to close the drain valve. The tank is then filled with precharge flushing
fluid until the fluid level light on the service panel illuminates.
The toilet requires a precharge of 2.3 US gallons (8.7 liters) of flushing fluid.
