FRESH WATER
SYSTEM
________________
The purpose of the Fresh Water System is to
provide a supply of pressurized potable water to
the Galley, Heads and Transom Exterior Shower
on demand and as needed. Your
330 Sport
Bridge has two (2) separate systems that are
independent of each other and they are identi-
fi
ed as follows:
•
Fresh Water Pump System
•
Dockside Water Supply System
Fresh Water Pump System
The Fresh Water Pump System on your 330
Sport Bridge consists of the following com-
ponents:
Fresh Water Tank (52 gallon capacity): The
fresh water tank is located beneath the berth in
the aft stateroom (See
Mechanical Layout on
Page 141, which illustrates the location of the
fresh water tank). It is
fi
lled through a
fi
ll
fi
tting
that is marked “WATER” on the
fi
ll cap, which
is located on the Starboard side of the transom,
adjacent to the aft deck stairway (See
Deck Lay-
out on Page 139, which illustrates the location
of the fresh water tank
fi
ll
fi
tting).
Fill the fr esh water tank
ONLY with potable water that is safe for
drinking. DO NOT
fi
ll with water that may
be of questionable quality as serious illness
or death may occur.
Fresh Water Pump: The fresh water pump is
located to the rear of the water heater (See Me-
chanical Layout on Page 141, which illustrates
the location of the water heater and the fresh
water pump). The fresh water pump operates
on DC electrical power controlled by a breaker
switch located on the AC/DC Electrical Panel
(See
Electrical Panel Layout on Page 143,
which illustrates the location of the fresh water
pump breaker switch). The fresh water pump
is equipped with an automatic pressure switch
and when it is supplied with electrical power, it
will operate until the entire fresh water system is
pressurized to a preset level. Once the required
pressure is obtained, the fresh water pump will
automatically shut off. The fresh water system
should maintain the preset level of water pres-
sure until one of the faucet or shower valves is
opened. When the required pressure is lowered
below the preset level, the fresh water pump will
automatically return to operation.
Fresh Water Filter: The water pumped from
the fresh water tank
fl
ows through a
fi
lter located
on the suction side of the fresh water pump. Its
purpose is to remove impurities that may be
present in the fresh water system prior to its
consumption. The
fi
lter is easily removed from
the fresh water pump and should be cleaned on
a regular basis (See photograph below , which
illustrates the location of the
Fresh Water
Filter ).
