Fresh Water System
7.4 Fresh Water System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system compo-
nents by the equipment manufacturers is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for
additional operation and service data.
Routine Maintenance
The following items should be done routinely to
maintain your fresh water system:
• Remove the filter screens from the faucet
spouts and eliminate any accumulation of de-
bris. A build up of debris can cause the pump
to cycle excessively.
• Periodically remove and clean the water
strainer located at the intake side of the
pressure pump. To clean the strainer, make
sure the Fresh Water switch is off. Rotate
the strainer bowl counterclockwise to release
it. Remove and clean the screen with fresh
water. Lubricate the O-ring lightly with Teflon
or silicon grease and reinstall the screen and
strainer bowl.
• Periodically remove the lid on the cabin drain
and shower sump and clean the water strainer.
• Periodically spray the fresh water pump and
metal components with a metal protectant.
• The batteries must be properly maintained
and charged. Operating the pressure pump
from a battery with a low charge could lead
to pump failure.
• Add a commercially available potable water
conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.
Notice:
The fresh water system must be properly
winterized prior to winter lay-up. Refer to
the section on winterizing for more informa-
tion.
CAUTION
THE FRESH WATER PUMP SWITCH SHOULD BE PLACED
IN THE “OFF” POSITION WHENEVER LEAVING THE BOAT
UNATTENDED OR WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS
NOT IN USE.
