Chapter 5:
FRESH WATER SYSTEM
5.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution
pump. The pump is equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is located on the rear engine
compartment bulkhead. An in-line strainer located near the pump protects the system from
debris. The tank is filled through a labeled deck plate located on the gunnel.
DO NOT FILL THE SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER. SHOULD
THE SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS,
COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE
FILL DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ALSO ARE LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF
GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR
WASTE TANK, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND
WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER OR THE PURSUIT CUSTOMER RE-
LATIONS DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING THE FUEL PROFESSION-
ALLY REMOVED AND COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM REPLACED
AS NECESSARY.
5.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck plate. After filling the water tank,
partially open all faucets. The Fresh Water System breaker on the cabin DC panel should be on.
Allow the pump to run until all of the air is purged from the system and a steady stream of water
is flowing from each outlet. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As the pressure builds, the
pump will automatically shut off.
When properly primed and activated the water system will operate much like the water system
in a home. An automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. If the system has been
recently filled or has not been used for an extended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the
pump and the system may have to be reprimed.
