DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET CONNECTOR
WITH ANOTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING PURSUIT CUSTOMER RE-
LATIONS OR YOUR DEALER. THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF IN-
LET CONNECTOR CAN DAMAGE THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM.
5.5 Shower Operation
The head sink faucet is also the shower spray head. To use as a shower, make sure the “Fresh Water
System” breaker in the DC breaker panel is on, then lift the spray head off the sink or out of the
locker (cockpit shower) and turn the water on. Adjust the hot and cold water faucet until the desired
temperature is obtained. Some minor variations in the water temperature may occur as the pressure
pump cycles.
Shower water is drained from the head compartment by a sump pump system connected to the
shower drain. An automatic float switch in the shower sump controls the pump. The pump is
protected by the mid sump circuit breaker in the TABS. After showering, let the cold water flow
for a period of time to flush the drainage system of soap residue.
The shower sump system is located in the bilge below the aft berth in the cabin. It is essential that
the shower drain strainer is cleaned regularly and the sump is inspected periodically for accumu-
lated debris that needs to be removed.
5.6 Fresh Water System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system components, by the equipment manufacturers, is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for additional operation and service data.
The following items should be done routinely to maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove the filter screens from the faucet spouts and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A
build up of debris can cause the pump to cycle excessively.
• The fresh water system is equipped with a strainer located on the intake line near the pump. This
should be checked at least annually and cleaned as necessary.
• Periodically remove the lid on the shower drain sump assembly located under the floor of the
cabin aft berth. Clean debris from the sump and flush with clean water. Activate the float
switch to test the pump.
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal components with a metal protector.
