Maintenance
Inspect the water heater connections regularly. Access
the water heater through a plate on the starboard wall of
the mid cabin bunk.
Manually operate the pressure relief valve at least once
a year. This must be done when the water in the storage
tank is cool.
The system must be ushed several times per year to
prolong the life of the system.
There may be times that you will notice an odor coming
from the water system. There is a protective cladding in the
tank that protects it from corrosion. The electro galvanic
action of the cladding material releases hydrogen from
the water. If sulfur or any of its combinations are present
in the water the two will combine and produce hydrogen
sulfide. This compound will produce a Rotten Egg dor.
Hydrogen sulfide can also be present in your freshwater
supply. It is the product of the decay of animal matter and
as little as mg liter can cause a perceptible odor.
Turn off the water heater, wait for the water to cool then
make certain that the system is comp letely drained
b efore laying up for the winter season
. The freshwater
tank will have to be drained and ushed with a non to ic
anti freeze before winter storage.
