Water System

Incoming water flows to a water pressure regulator that is preset to 30 psig. It flows through the water booster 
pump, to the regulator and through a sold-out switch.

Once through the boost pump, the water supply is split to each barrel and is fed to the water flow controls. From the 
flow rate control, the water passes through a single ball check valve and mixes with the syrup in a wye fitting for 
injection into the freeze barrel.
