Instructions
Always consult the Water Pressure Pump Owner’s Manual for
instructions and maintenance.
• It is extremely important that a minimum amount of water must
be at all times in the tanks to avoid that the fresh water pressure
pump should lose its prime by sucking air. This would cause the
pump not to shut off and to burn out.
• Should the water pump run continuously with all faucets closed,
we recommend that you switch off the pump at the electrical panel
(§
7
.6) and refill the tanks
- If you are about to run out of water, we recommend to keep the
water pump off while motoring as the noise of the engine can
cover the noise of the pump running with the risk of burning it.
Same thing applies to the night time and when the boat is left
unattended.
• When using fresh water, make sure that one of the two gate valves
of the selector
E
is always open while the other one is shut off.
- We recommend to use the fore tank first as its level of water is
not indicated by the gauge and, most important, is the one that
affects more the pitching of the boat.
• Activate the switch marked
FRESH WATER PUMP
on the Pump
Section of the 12 Vdc Electrical Panel (§
7
.6).
• The hot water may be brought to temperature through two
separate systems:
- Utilizing the Main Engine Cooling Water System through a
Heat Exchanger that automatically heats up the fresh water
every time the main engine is on ( it will take approximately 15
minutes to reach temperature).
- Turning on the Water Heater Switch (Boiler) on the 220 Volt AC
section of the electrical panel (§
7
.9).
• Carefully read Chapter Water Heater on page
