Alberth Aviation WC-25 – 25-Gallon Potable Water Cart – Standard 5-Gallon Bottles

The Alberth Aviation WC-25 Potable Water Cart is designed to safely deliver clean, pressurized water to aircraft galleys and lavatories. It ensures a sanitary and reliable water source for flight operations, line service, and maintenance crews. By using sealed bottled water instead of refillable tanks, the WC-25 guarantees cleanliness and efficiency during potable water servicing.

The WC-25 Potable Water Cart eliminates the risk of bacterial growth associated with conventional refillable water tanks. It uses standard 5-gallon sealed water bottles, ensuring that water never comes into contact with internal surfaces that require sanitizing. This closed-system design provides a guaranteed clean water source every time, greatly simplifying sanitation compliance.

The WC-25 is equipped with a durable 12-volt diaphragm pump capable of delivering approximately 4.5 gallons per minute (GPM). This pump is self-priming, low-maintenance, and built for reliability in demanding aviation service conditions. It ensures steady water pressure for quick, efficient refills during aircraft turnaround operations.

The WC-25 Potable Water Cart is powered by a 12-volt deep-cycle battery with an integrated automatic charger. The system has a pumping capacity of approximately 1,000 gallons between charges, depending on operating conditions. This battery-powered design eliminates the need for external power sources, making it ideal for use on ramps, hangars, or remote service areas.

The WC-25 is designed to accommodate five standard 5-gallon water bottles, providing a total capacity of 25 gallons. The bottles are arranged for easy loading and secure placement during operation. This modular setup allows crews to replace individual bottles as needed, ensuring a constant supply of potable water with minimal downtime.

Maintenance requirements are minimal thanks to the cart’s sanitization-free, sealed system. Operators should periodically inspect the pump, hoses, and battery connections for wear and tear, and clean the exterior with a mild detergent. Since water is sourced from sealed bottles, there’s no need to flush or disinfect internal tanks, saving significant time and reducing maintenance costs.

The WC-25 simplifies potable water service by eliminating the need for sanitizing tanks or lines. Maintenance teams can quickly swap bottles, connect the hose, and pressurize the system in seconds. This streamlined process not only reduces turnaround time but also ensures aircraft water systems remain free of contaminants, enhancing both safety and efficiency.

Yes. The WC-25 promotes environmentally responsible operations by reducing the use of chemicals and water waste associated with traditional tank sanitization. The use of sealed water bottles ensures that no residual water or cleaning agents are discharged, thereby minimizing the risk of contamination to the surrounding environment. Additionally, the electric pump system produces no emissions during operation.

The WC-25 features a lightweight aluminum frame and rugged, puncture-resistant tires designed for easy maneuverability across hangar floors or ramp surfaces. Its compact footprint allows it to be positioned close to service panels, even in tight or crowded environments. Technicians can easily push, pull, or tow the cart as needed without requiring additional equipment.

The WC-25 Potable Water Cart is trusted by FBOs, flight departments, and MRO facilities worldwide because it delivers clean water with zero sanitation requirements. Its low-maintenance, closed-bottle system eliminates downtime caused by cleaning or tank flushing, while its compact design saves hangar space. The result is a cost-effective, dependable, and contamination-free solution for potable water servicing.

Like all Alberth Aviation ground support products, the WC-25 Potable Water Cart is proudly made in the USA. Each unit is hand-assembled and tested at Alberth’s Texas manufacturing facility to ensure reliability, precision, and long-term performance. The company’s commitment to American craftsmanship ensures consistent quality across every potable water cart produced.

The pump on the Alberth Aviation WC-25 Potable Water Cart has a continuous duty cycle of 30 minutes, after which it requires a 10-minute cool-down period. Operating the pump beyond this limit may cause overheating and lead to premature wear or failure. Adhering to the recommended cycle ensures optimal performance and extends the pump’s service life during potable water servicing operations.

No, the WC-25 Potable Water Cart is shipped with the battery disconnected to ensure safety during transport. To connect the battery, lift the stainless-steel cover located near the electrical plug and connect the two square, 4-pin connectors. Once connected, the unit will be ready for use and can be charged as described in the operating manual.

When the charger is attached to the battery and plugged into a standard electrical outlet, the red and green LED indicators will illuminate, showing that the battery is charging and maintaining proper voltage. The charger should remain connected for no more than 10 continuous hours to prevent overcharging. After each charging session, allow the battery to rest for 24 hours before recharging again to ensure safe and efficient operation.
