7.4 Fresh Water System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system compo-
nents by the equipment manufacturers is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for
additional operation and service data.
Routine Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to
maintain your fresh water system:
• Periodically remove and clean the fresh water
pump and mister booster pump strainers. The
fresh water pump strainer is located near the
intake side of the fresh water pump. The mister
strainer is located in the mister pump supply
hose near the pump or the fresh water tank.
To clean the strainer, make sure the Fresh
Water switch is off. Rotate the strainer bowl
counterclockwise to release it. Remove and
clean the screen with fresh water. Lubricate
the O-ring lightly with Teflon or silicone grease
and reinstall the strainer bowl.
• Remove the filter screen from the shower head
and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A
build up of debris can cause the pump to cycle
excessively.
• Periodically spray the pump and metal
components with a metal protectant.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and
charged. Operating the pressure pump from a
battery with a low charge could lead to pump
failure.
• Add a commercially available potable water
conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.
Notice:
The fresh water system must be properly
winterized prior to winter lay-up. Refer to
the section on winterizing for more informa -
tion.
CAUTION
THE FRESH WATER SWITCH SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE “OFF”
POSITION WHENEVER LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED OR
WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.
