Fresh Water System Commissioning
The fresh water system must be disinfected
before first use and yearly at the beginning of
each season. A clean sanitized fresh water
system will greatly reduce the risk of develop-
ing coliform bacteria or other disease-causing
organisms (pathogens) and will help protect
the health of everyone onboard.
WARNING
!
HEALTH HAZARD
Disinfect the entire fresh (potable)
water system prior to use and yearly
at the beginning of each season.
Failure to do so can result in devel-
oping coliform bacteria or other dis-
ease-causing organisms (pathogens)
in the water system. Consumption of
contaminated water could result in
severe personal injury or death.
Follow this procedure to disinfect the
fresh water system, kill bacteria that may
be present, and prepare the system for
operation:
Note: The fresh water system may be filled
with nontoxic potable water antifreeze. If anti-
freeze was not used, skip to step 8.
1. Open the hot and cold water heater
valves on the water system manifold to
the normal operation position.
2. Open all faucets (hot & cold), setting sin-
gle faucets to the warm position.
3. Switch ON the fresh water pump breaker,
located on the DC MDP. The pump is
self-priming.
4. When anti-freeze stops flowing out of the
faucets, switch the pump breaker OFF.
Do not close faucets.
5. Fill the fresh water tank with clean, fresh
water. The fill fitting for the water tank is
on the deck amidships, labeled WATER.
The tank should be filled until water runs
out of the vent located on the hull side
just below the fill.
6. Keeping all faucets open, switch ON the
fresh water pump breaker and empty the
water tank. When the water tank is empty
turn the pump breaker OFF.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all nontoxic
potable water antifreeze is removed from
the system.
8. Ensure the water system, including the
water heater and pump, is drained com-
pletely.
9. Close all faucets.
CAUTION
!
Notify all persons aboard that the
fresh water system is being sanitized.
Do not allow anyone to drink from the
fresh water system during the sanitiz-
ing process.
10. Prepare a chlorine sanitizing solution: in
a container with 1 gallon of fresh water,
mix 1/4 cup of Clorox® or Purex® regular
unscented household bleach (5% sodium
hypochlorite solution) for each 15 gallons
of water tank capacity ( Table A-1 ).
11. Fill the fresh water tank halfway with
clean, fresh water.
12. Pour the sanitizing solution into the water
tank through the deck WATER fill fitting.
