5. Pour the sanitizing solution into the
water tank(s) through the deck WATER
fill fitting.
6. Fill the freshwater tank(s) with clean,
fresh water. The fill fitting for the water
tank(s) is on the starboard gunwale,
labeled WATER. The tank(s) should be
filled until water runs out of the vent lo
-
cated on the hull side just below the fill.
7. Switch ON the FRESH WATER PUMP
breaker(s).
8. At each faucet, run about 1/2 gallon of
water out of each tap (hot and cold),
then close the tap. You should be able to
smell chlorine out of each tap.
9. Switch OFF the FRESH WATER PUMP
breaker(s) on the DC distribution panel,
located in the starboard cabin upper
electrical cabinet.
10. Allow the chlorine sanitizing solu-
tion to sit in the system for three (3)
hours. A shorter time period will require
a greater concentration of chlorine
sanitizing solution to disinfect the water
system.
11. Switch ON the FRESH WATER PUMP
breaker(s).
12. Drain the chlorine sanitizing solution:
open all faucets (hot & cold), set single
faucets to the warm position, and emp-
ty the water tank(s). Ensure the water
system, including the water heater and
pump, is drained completely. When the
water tank(s) is empty turn the pump
breaker(s) OFF.
13. Fill the freshwater tank(s) with clean,
fresh water (see step 6). The tank(s)
should be filled until water runs out of
the vent.
14. Keeping all faucets open, switch ON the
FRESH WATER pump breaker(s) and
empty the water tank(s). When the water
tank(s) is empty turn the pump break-
er(s) OFF.
15. Fill the tanks again, until water runs out
of the vent. Switch ON the FRESH WA
-
TER pump breaker and empty the tanks.
Switch the breaker OFF.
16. Final fill: Fill the freshwater tank(s) with
clean, fresh water. The tank(s) should be
filled until water runs out of the vent on
the hull side just below the WATER fill.
17. Switch ON the FRESH WATER PUMP
breaker(s) and open all faucets. When
a smooth flow of water is observed
from each hot and cold tap, close the
faucet. When all faucets are closed,
the pump(s) will shut off as the system
pressure increases. Any air should now
be purged from the system.
The freshwater system is now commissioned
and ready for use.
To remove excessive chlorine taste or
odor that might remain in the system, do
the following:
1. Ensure the water tank(s) has enough
available capacity to accept 10 addition-
al gallons. If there is ample room in the
tank(s), proceed to step 3, below. If not,
continue to step 2.
2. Drain at least 10 gallons of water from
the system to make room for the vinegar
solution (step 3). To do this, switch ON
the FRESH WATER PUMP breaker(s)
on the DC distribution panel,
located in
the starboard cabin upper electrical cab-
inet, and open a faucet. When at least
10 gallons have been drained, close the
faucet and turn the pump breaker OFF.
3. Prepare a solution of one (1) quart vine-
gar to five (5) gallons fresh water.
4. Pour the vinegar solution into the wa-
ter tank(s) through the deck WATER fill
fitting.
5. Allow the vinegar solution to agitate in
the tank(s) for 24 hours.
6. Switch ON the freshwater pump break-
er and drain the vinegar solution by
opening all faucets (hot & cold), setting
single faucets to the warm position, and
empty the water tank(s). When the water
tank(s) is empty turn the pump break-
er(s) OFF.
7. Close all faucets.

Fill the freshwater tank(s) with clean,
fresh water. The fill fitting for the water
tanks is located in the water connection
