12. Fresh water system
Sunshine is equipped with one water tank with a capacity of 42 gallons.
Before filling the tank let the water run from the hose for a while before
placing the end into the filler that is located on the transom. Please ensure
that the correct fillers are used, NOT the holding tanks or the diesel fill.
To use the fresh water system, turn on the fresh water breaker on the 12v
panel and open a faucet. When the tank runs out of water the pump will run
at high speed and the faucet will start to cough air. As soon as you hear the
pump running continuously, check to see if anyone is using water. If not,
switch off the pump immediately to prevent the pump from drawing more air
into the system or the pump overheating.
There is no water gauge on Sunshine so it is advisable to top up the water
tank whenever you have the opportunity.
