There is no specified periodic maintenance, but it’s wise to Inspect
connections and clamps periodically.

Water Purifier
The General Ecology Seagull
WATER PURIFIER
in the galley is an excellent
water purifier. It’s used on many airlines and by the military.
General Ecology, Inc., states that Seagull IV purification systems meet the
EPA guide standard protocol for microbiological purifiers for bacteria, cysts
and viruses and excels at removing chemical and aesthetic contaminants,
including herbicides, pesticides, chlorine and foul tastes, odors and colors.
The purifier has a cartridge in a stainless pressure vessel under the sink.
Replace it if reduced water flow indicates that it’s clogged, if any
particulates are seen in the water, if there is any taste in the water or at
least annually. The filter is rated for 1000 gallons, equal to about 15 water
tanks. The replacement cartridge is Seagull IV X-1 Residential
Replacement Cartridge RS-1SG and can be bought online.

Sumps
A
GRAY WATER SUMP BOX
collects water from the shower drain,
sinks, the dish locker drain,
AIR CONDITIONER
condensate, bilge pumps,
and deck run-off. Gray water can be legally discharged overboard. The
sump pump switch on the
12V DC
panel provides power to a pump
with a float switch to empty the tank. It runs through port and starboard
common drains in the transom. Remove the tank cover and clean tank
and strainers periodically.
The Gray water sump box is located below the bottom companionway
step.
Common Gray Water Drains
To minimize through-hull penetrations, a
common drain is used on port and starboard sides. Items that drain into
the common drains include DECK DRAINS and
HATCH GUTTERS. GALLEY
& HEAD SINKS drain directly overboard.
Ensure that these drain outlets aren’t
obstructed..
