FRESH WATER SYSTEM
5.1 General
The fresh water system consists of a potable water tank,
distribution lines and a distribution pump. The pump is
equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is located in
the bilge below the cabin sole. The tank is filled through a
labeled deck plate located on the port gunnel.
DO NOT FILL SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER
THAN WATER. SHOULD THE SYSTEM bECOME
CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC
FLUIDS, COMPONENT REPLACEMENT MAY bE
NECESSARY.
DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH
THE WATER OR WASTE FILL DECK PLATES. THESE
PLATES ALSO ARE LAbELED ACCORDINGLY. IF
GASOLINE OR DIESEL FUEL IS ACCIDENTALLY
PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK,
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF.
WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DESIGNED
TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION
COULD RESULT. CONTACT YOUR DEALER
OR THE ALbEMARLE CUSTOMER SERVICE
DEPARTMENT FOR ASSISTANCE IN HAVING
THE FUEL PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED AND
COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM
REPLACED AS NECESSARY.
5.2 Fresh Water System Operation
Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck
plate. After filling the water tank, partially open all faucets.
The fresh water pump breaker on the cabin DC panel should
be on. Allow the pump to run until all of the air is purged
from the system and a steady stream of water is flowing from
each outlet. Next, turn off the faucets one by one. As the
pressure builds, the pump will automatically shut off.
When properly primed and activated the water system will
operate much like the water system in a home. An automatic
pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. If the system
has been recently filled or has not been used for an extended
period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump and the
system may have to be reprimed.
Whenever the boat is left unattended, the fresh water pump
breaker should be placed in the “OFF” position.
The Washdown Hose Connector
The fresh water wash down hose connection is located on
the port side of the cockpit and uses a standard garden hose
connection. Make sure the wash down faucet valve or the hose
spray nozzle is off when the fresh water system is activated.
