the hot water faucet for that tap or shower head. When you have done
this for each sink tap and shower head, the water system is primed.
6. Add water to the fresh water tank to replace that which was used in the
previous step. Refer to Section 4 Filling the Water Tank.
When water pressure within the system increases to a predetermined
point, the pressure water pump automatically shuts off. Priming the
system also fills and maintains the water level within the water heater.
Using the Water System
After filling, pressurizing and priming the fresh water system, simply open
a faucet to receive fresh water. As you draw water from the system, the
pressure in the system decreases. When the pressure decreases to a
predetermined point, the pressure water pump automatically turns on and
increases the pressure. This ensures a steady flow of water any time you
open a faucet.
Sometimes a recently filled system or one that has not been used for
some time may need re-priming. This is normal and is caused by an
accumulation of air bubbles at the pressure water pump. To re-prime the
fresh water system, repeat the steps - Pressurizing and Priming the Water
System.
Water Heater
To operate the water heater:
1. Fill, pressurize and prime the fresh water system. This automatically
fills the water heater.
2. Supply AC power to your boat. Refer to Section 3 - Shore Power or
Generator Power to do this.
3. On the AC Control Center, switch the Water Heater circuit breaker ON.
4. Refer to the OEM information for details on operating the water heater.
Do not supply power to the water heater when it is empty. Doing so may damage the
unit’s heating element. Fill, pressurize and prime the fresh water system as described
in Section 4 - Filling the Water Tank and Pressurizing and Priming the Water System
before turning on the water heater.
Shower and Sinks
Used water from the sinks, shower drains and air conditioning units drain
into a sump. Because the sump is located below the boat’s waterline,
a pump is needed to drain the sump and discharge its water overboard
or into an optional grey water holding tank. When the Auto Sump circuit
breaker on the Safety Breaker Panel is “ON,” the sump pump operates
automatically when water in the sump rises above a predetermined level.
A Tip From Carver!
To obtain the most consistent shower temperature, turn on the cold water faucet fully, then
slowly turn on the hot water faucet until the water flowing from the shower head is at the
desired temperature. This method keeps the pressure water pump running, eliminating widely
fluctuating water temperatures.
