tank until water starts flowing through the vent.
4. Close the fill fitting.
CAUTION
!
!
Always ensure that when filling the fresh water tanks
that you are filling through the fresh water fill. Other
fills or pump outs may visually look the same. Filling
fresh water in to the waste pump out could flood
your boat, or filling the diesel fuel tank could dam-
age your fuel system.
9.2.2 Fresh water sanitation
NOTE: Be sure and read the OEM manuals that are supplied
with your boat, the next section is taken from one of those
manuals.
Sanitizing Potable water systems require periodic main-
tenance to deliver a consistent flow of fresh water.
Depending on use and the environment the system is
subjected to, sanitizing is recommended prior to storing
and before using the water system after a period of stor-
age. Systems with new components, or ones that have
been subjected to contamination, should also be disin-
fected as follows:
NOTE: The sanitizing procedure is in conformance with the
approved procedures of the US Public Health Service.)
1. Use the following methods to determine the amount of
common household bleach needed to sanitize the tank:
A. Multiply “gallons of tank capacity” by 0.13; the result
is the ounces of bleach needed to sanitize the tank (30
gallons X .13 = 3.9 oz bleach).
B. Use the number of liters of tank capacity to determine
the number of milliliters of bleach needed to sanitize
the tank (120 liters of tank capacity = 120 milliliters of
bleach).
2. Mix into solution the proper amount of bleach within a
container of water
3. Pour the solution (water/bleach) into the tank and fill
the tank with potable water.
4. Open all faucets (hot and cold) allowing the water to
run until the distinct odor of chlorine is detected.
5. The standard solution must have four (4) hours of
contact time to disinfect completely. Doubling the solution
concentration allows for contact time of one (1) hour.
6. When the contact time is completed, drain the tank.
Refill with potable water and purge the plumbing of all
sanitizing solution.
9.2.3 Fresh Water Manifold
The fresh water manifold is basically a diverter for the
separate water systems aboard your boat. It has both a
cold water and a hot water side to it and is made up of a
supply line that supplies the water to the manifold. The
manifold is then separated into lines that feed the various
systems.
Usually centrally located in the galley, it allows the owner
some control over which branches of the water system
are being supplied.
Later in this chapter (Fig. 9.10) you will find a photo
guide to the Fresh Water Manifold with some instruc-
tions on its use. The actual look or shape of your
manifold may vary some from the photo on Fig. 9.10,
however the manifold operations will be the same.
The manifolds vary depending upon the options or equip-
ment installed on your boat.
Note; Examine the differences between the hot, and cold water
lines in Fig. 9.2, you will notice that the cold water lines are blue
while the hot water lines are red.
