DO NOT MODIFY OR CHANGE THE SHORE WATER INLET CONNECTOR WITH
ANOTHER TYPE WITHOUT CONSULTING PURSUIT CUSTOMER RELATIONS OR
YOUR DEALER. THE USE OF THE WRONG TYPE OF INLET CONNECTOR CAN
DAMAGE THE FRESHWATER 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 shower sump pump circuit breaker in the panel. 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
accumulated debris that needs to be removed.
5.6 Freshwater 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 freshwater 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 freshwater 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.
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal components with a metal protector.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and charged. Operating the pressure pump from
a battery with a low charge could lead to pump failure.
