A water tank works by storing water that flows in and is held until needed, then released through exit pipes. Here's a breakdown of the process:
-
Water Input and Storage: Water enters the tank and remains there. According to the reference, the water "flows into the tank and will not leave until you operate the exit pipes."
-
Water Output: When water is needed, it's expelled through exit pipes.
-
Pressure Management:
- The reference mentions that water expelled to the exit pipes is sent either with pumps or through monitored air pressure.
- This process relies on pressure switches to communicate with the check valve, ensuring proper water flow and preventing backflow.
In summary, a water tank is a storage vessel that fills with water and holds it until it's actively released through pipes, often utilizing pumps or air pressure and controlled by pressure switches and check valves.
