SUMMARY: Two new water point sets are described.As the two sets are almost identical except for the sizes of the various components the lightweight set only is described in detail. They provide for the treatment of water by sedimentation, filtration and chlorination. A feature novel to military field equipment is the employment of liquid chlorine for sterilization.
IntroductionMoving ahead with more modern and efficient methods of water purification and having in mind the present military policy of eliminating specialist vehicles in the field two new water point sets will, within the next year or so, be taken into use by the Services. Both sets have undergone extensive trials by a variety of units and with a small number of minor modifications they have been well received.
