FRESH WATER SYSTEM
The fresh water system supplies the sink in the galley, the wash basin and shower in all of the heads, and the transom
shower. This system is pressurized by an electric pump. There is a filter between the water tank manifold and the pump. It is
necessary to check and clean this filter regularly.
Never run an electric pump when the tank is empty. It may burn out the pump.
OPERATION.
1. Fill the water tanks.
(SEE DECK SECTION FOR WATER FILL LOCATIONS)
2. Select the tank for use at the valves on the manifold.
3. Turn on the fresh water pump at the panel.
4. Open all taps and bleed off any trapped air in the lines until the water runs clear with no sputtering.
5. Close all taps and the pump will turn off when it reaches operating pressure. If the pump continues to cycle
check all fittings for leaks.
•
Never fill up with water and diesel at the same time if the filling points are close to each other, to avoid the
risk of contaminating one liquid with the other.
•
Similarly, avoid risk of contamination by never handling a product that might cause pollution close to the
deck fill while taking on water.
•
If unused for a long time, the tanks and pipes need to be flushed with a solution of acetic acid (solution of
vinegar and water).
•
The sink and washbasins are drained through their own thru-hull valves; these should be kept closed when
the fresh water system is not in use.
•
Do not force hosepipe nozzle down the fill pipe as a high back pressure could occur. Check the
vent/overflow fitting to avoid over filling.
