Water system
Please see page 66 for the location of the water system components described in this section.
The water supply system consists of the following networks:
Fresh water tank.
Pressurized cold and hot fresh water circuit.
Sea water system in the galley, if installed.
Emergency sea water system in the galley, if installed.
Fresh water tanks
Two fresh water tanks are installed, one under each aft cabin bed (see 66). Both of them are
made of food polyethylene and have inspection and cleaning caps.
The fresh water fill cap is located under the helmsman’s platform, towards the port side.
The vent connectors of the two fresh water tanks are piped into the corresponding gas
cylinders containers.
Each tank has a capacity of about 200 litres in order to have a total of 400 litres available.
The level of fresh water contained in the tanks is gauged in the starboard tank and showed
by the electrical gauge located in the 12 Vdc electrical panel. This gauge is automatically
enabled by turning on the services heavy duty battery switch.
Tank inspection
Each tank has a cap; it can be accessed through its upper side, by
lifting the lid located under the bed.
Each inspection cap consists of a rubber membrane fixed around
the opening by a pipe clip.
The tanks have been built following the most modern hygiene standards. In any case,
we recommend you to wash and disinfect them at least once a year, using diluted
Amuchina according to the instructions for use, or any other specific product.
