galley sink) can reduce cycling of the pump to prolong its life. One to two ounces of unscented
chlorine bleach (such as Clorox) can be added to every 60 gallons of water to prevent the growth
of algae. Your yacht is equipped with a full pressure fresh water system for both hot and cold
water. It allows you to draw fresh water in the same way and with the same convenience you have
become used to in the home. But there is a disadvantage to this – you will have a tendency to use
your water as you do in the home and this is generally wasteful. At home this waste translates into
