SYSTEM OPERATIONS-57
SHOWER SUMP PUMP SYSTEM
Your 43SB is equipped with two showers;
One is the master Stateroom shower and
the other is the shower located in the main
Head (See
Interior Layout in the Sche-
matics Section of this Owner’s Manual,
which illustrates the location of the show-
ers). The showers are equipped with a
separate automatic sump pump (Refer to
the Mechanical Schematic in the Sche-
matics Section of this Owner’s Manual for
the location of the Shower Sump Pumps).
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 System .
Access to the Shower Sump Pumps is
through a hatch located on the deck of the
Forward Stateroom.
The Shower Sump Pump System oper-
ates on DC Electrical Power, controlled by
a breaker switch located on the DC Elec-
trical 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. Re-
move the six (6) screws securing 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 operation 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
43SB , the Sump Pump Breaker
Switches must be turned ON. Condensa-
tion 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.
