An automatic float switch in the shower sump controls the pump. The pump is protected by the shower sump
circuit breaker. 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 behind the cabin step under the cockpit floor. 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 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 sump assembly located under the cabin sole. 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.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and charged. Operating the pressure pump from a battery with
a low charge could lead to pump failure.
• Add a commercially available potable water conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.
THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM MUST BE PROPERLY WINTERIZED PRIOR TO WINTER
LAY-UP. SEE THE SECTION ON WINTERIZING.
THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM SWITCH SHOULD BE PLACED IN THE “OFF” POSITION
WHENEVER LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED OR WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYS-
TEM IS NOT IN USE.
