SYSTEM OPERATIONS-61
SHOWER SUMP PUMP SYSTEM
Your 34C is equipped with a shower; it is
located on the starboard side (See Inte-
rior Layout in the Schematics Section
of this Owner’s Manual, which illustrates
the location of the shower). The shower
is equipped with a separate automatic
sump pump (Refer to the Mechanical
Schematic in the Schematics Section of
this Owner’s Manual for the location of the
Shower Sump Pump). As the water drains
from the shower into the sump pump to a
certain level, it raises an automatic switch
lever, which activates the shower sump
pump and the water is pumped overboard.
The photo below shows the Shower Sump
Pump.
Access to the Shower Sump Pump is
through a hatch located on the deck of
the Forward Stateroom. The photo below
shows the panel removed.
The Shower Sump Pump System oper-
ates on DC electrical power, controlled by
a breaker switch located on the DC electri-
cal Panel (Refer to the Electrical Pages of
this section of this Owner’s Manual for the
location of the switches).
General maintenance of the Shower
Sump Pump System involves periodic
cleaning to remove any accumulated
debris. Remove the six (6) screws secur-
ing the top cover for access to the debris
basket and automatic
fl oat switch. If you
notice that the shower does not drain
properly, check the pump basket for debris
and clean, if necessary. If the shower still
does not drain properly, check the opera-
tion of the pump by manually raising the
automatic
fl oat switch. If the sump pump
is operable, but will not drain properly,
check all drain lines for debris and clean
as needed. See your Silverton dealer for
further inspection and repair if the shower
continues to drain improperly.
When operating the air conditioner on
your
34C , the sump pump breaker switch-
es must be turned ON. Condensation from
the air conditioner drains into the
Shower
Sump Pump System and this water is
pumped overboard by the sump pumps.
Refer to the Winterization and Storage
section of this Owner’s Manual for the
proper preparation and maintenance
of the SHOWER SUMP PUMP SYSTEM
prior to seasonal storage.
