Abstract
A method for draining a water supply system onboard an aircraft which supplies water from a central water tank to consumers. Water is supplied by a supply pump from the central water tank through supply lines of a conduit system to consumers. Each consumer is associated with a supply valve for drawing water from the conduit system. The supply lines have a maximum internal diameter of 8 mm or less. The method includes closing the supply valves of all consumers, subjecting the supply lines of the conduit system at the at the supply pump to a draining pressure and sequentially opening the supply valves of all consumers for removing water from the supply lines of the conduit system. A corresponding water supply system and an aircraft are disclosed.
