Filter and Pump
Water flows from the tank through a filter to strain
out any contaminants, and then flows to the
pump. The pump provides a flow of water at a
preset system pressure. Some pumps include a
safety feature that will shut the pump off if it runs
dry or when the tank is emptied.
Operation Guidelines:
• Fill the freshwater tank with potable water.
• Close all faucets and drains.
• Turn on the freshwater pump circuit breaker.
• Open each cold and hot water faucet to allow
air to escape. Close the faucets when a steady
flow of clean water is apparent.
• After all lines are empty, the pump will build to
operating pressure and shut off.
• Refill the freshwater tank with potable water.
Freshwater Tank
Freshwater tanks are usually filled through a deck
plate filler marked “WATER.” A hull vent allows air
to enter and escape the tank as the water level
rises and falls. The tank is full when water comes
out of the vent.
Fill the tank with only potable (drinking) water.
The tank will continue to provide clean drinking
water if you use and refill it often.
Guidelines when filling the tank:
• Remove the “WATER” filler cap with the key
provided with your boat. Turn counterclockwise
to remove the cap.
• Always use a sanitary drinking water hose
(blue) when filling the tank with fresh drinking
water.
• Replace the cap and fasten securely with the
key.
