2. Manually pump water faucet until water is coming out faucet or if
optional pressure water system, turn on water pump breaker.
3. Open galley faucet to allow air to escape.
4. Close faucet when steady flow of water appears.
Optional Water Pump and Filter
Once the pressure water switch is ON, the water pump supplies
water under pressure to the fresh water system. The filter keeps
particles from entering the pump reservoir. Check the filter periodi-
cally and clean if necessary. A clogged filter may result in low water
pressure to the system.
Before servicing the filter, turn the water system breaker OFF and
release pressure on the system by opening all faucets. To clean the
filter, remove screen and rinse with clean water. Replace and make
sure the O-ring is seated properly when installing the cover.
Note: Refer to the water pump manual for detailed operation
and maintenance procedures.
MARINE SANITATION DEVICES
Standard and optional sanitation equipment varies with the boat
model. These options include a pump-out Porta-Potti (Figure 3.2),
and a VacuFlush
® system with holding tank and optional macerator
(Figure 3.3).
The marine sanitation device (MSD), or head, installed on your
Chaparral boat stores the waste in an onboard holding tank. The
preferred method to empty the tank is by using a dockside pump out
station designed for sanitary removal of the waste.
If you empty the holding tank overboard, the optional macerator
grinds waste material into small particles as it empties the holding
tank. The only time you will use the macerator is when you empty
the holding tank overboard.
