13.5.2. Operation .
1. Fill the water tanks.
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 top 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 wash-basins are drained through their own through-hull valves; these
should be kept closed when the fresh water system is not in use.
