Incoming cold water from Kahramaa will be stored into the domestic tank 1 st
compartment (unfiltered water).
Pump with filter will be used to transfer water from 1 stcompartment (unfiltered
water) to 2nd compartment (filtered water).
Multi stage centrifugal Transfer pumps will be used to fill the roof level tanks
from the 2nd compartment (filtered).
Variable speed pressure booster pumps sets will be used to provide water
from the elevated tanks to the three floors immediately below the tanks, and
the remaining floors will be served by gravity piping system.
Roof tank shall have Maximum two suctions (pump suction and gravity line)
