6. Water Supply
6.1 Water Supply
There are approximately 100 gallons of fresh water on
your houseboat.
The main faucet in the kitchen, bathroom and wet bar
as well as the showers draw lake water, the water pump
must be turned on in order to draw water through these
faucets.
If you need to fill up your fresh water tank during your
trip, there is a filler hole with a cap on it located on the
front starboard side of the boat.
The Water Pump must be turned OFF while you are
cruising, failure to do so may cause problems with the
intake hose or pump.
The water pump needs to be “ON” when operating the
toilets – see Section 7 – Toilet Operations.
The 5 Gallon water jugs if opened will be charged back to you upon your
return.
IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO GET ANY WATER OUT OF
YOUR FAUCET, FIRST CHECK TO SEE IF THE PUMP IS
WORKING.
1. Turn on Taps you will be able to hear the pump turn
on if it is working. If there is no sound - check that the
water pump breaker at the electrical panel is on. Turn
all of the taps on in your boat. You should get spurts of
water out of your taps until they run full again. This is
releasing air in your water system. Once water is running
freely turn off your taps.
2. If your pump is not running when you try your tap,
check to make sure breaker has not tripped - or just try
turning off the water pump breaker for 20 minutes, then
try again (sometimes they overheat). If it still doesn’t
work, contact Twin Anchors Base for assistance.
