Water Pump and Filter
Once the water pump switch is ON, the water pump supplies water
under pressure to the fresh water system. The filter keeps particles
from entering the pump reservoir. Check the filter periodically and
clean if necessary. A clogged filter may result in low water pressure
to the system.
Before servicing the filter, turn the water system breaker OFF and
release pressure on the system by opening all faucets. To clean the
filter, remove screen and rinse with clean water. Replace and make
sure the O-ring is seated properly when installing the cover.
Note: Refer to the water pump manual for detailed operation
and maintenance procedures.
MARINE SANITATION DEVICES
Standard and optional sanitation equipment varies with the boat
model. These options include a VacuFlush
® system with holding
tank and optional macerator (Figure 3.3).
The marine sanitation device (MSD), or head, installed on your
Chaparral boat stores the waste in an onboard holding tank. The
preferred method to empty the tank is by using a dockside pump out
station designed for sanitary removal of the waste.
If you empty the holding tank overboard, the optional macerator
grinds waste material into small particles as it empties the holding
tank. The only time you will use the macerator is when you empty
the holding tank overboard.
Note: See the owner’s manual supplied by the manufacturer for
safety precautions and for detailed operation, maintenance, and
winterizing procedures. The manual is in your owner’s packet.
The U.S. Coast Guard has also issued regulations requiring boats to
have a sanitation system on board to control pollution. Wastes are to
be stored in a holding tank or other device. Discharging this waste
overboard is prohibited in most jurisdictions. Check with the Coast
Guard regarding regulations in your area.
If your boat is equipped with the Vacuflush
®
head, your waste system
is actuated by a hEAD or TOILET SYSTEM switch in the head. It
uses fresh water to minimize odor problems. To add water to the
WARNING: Explosion Hazard! Waste in holding tank can
form methane, an explosive gas. Keep vent open and clear
of obstructions. Keep fire and flame away when maintaining
sanitation system.
