SANITIZING THE FRESH
WATER SYSTEM
If water in the tank has been allowed to stagnate and you suspect
that the fresh water system may be contaminated, sanitize the sys-
tem. To sanitize:
1. Drain the fresh water tank completely (using all faucets, show-
ers, etc.).
2. Mix a solution of 1/4 cup household bleach to 1 gallon of water
for every 15 gallons of tank capacity. Pour the solution into the
fresh water tank.
3. Fill the tank with clean, fresh water.
4. Turn fresh water pump “ON” and bleed air from all faucets,
showers, etc.
5. After approximately 3 hours, drain the system completely.
6. Flush the system with one full tank of water.
7. Fill tank with clean, fresh drinking water.
If you can smell or taste bleach in the water:
1. Drain the system completely.
2. Mix a solution of one quart of white vinegar to 5 gallons of water.
Pour the solution into the fresh water tank.
3. Allow the solution to remain in the tank until approximately one
hour of cruising time is logged.
Notice
Boat motion will “slosh” the vinegar/water solution to
help clean the tank.
4. Allow the solution to remain in the tank for at least one week.
5. Drain the fresh water system completely.
6. Flush the system with one full tank of water.
7. Fill the tank with clean, fresh drinking water.
Raw Water System
Boats may contain several raw water systems. Essentially, any com-
ponent that requires outside water such as the engines, head, or
cockpit washdown will each have its own raw water intake.
All raw water systems have three things in common; each will have
its own thru-hull raw water intake, a seacock and a strainer. The sea-
cock is very important as it protects a boat from sinking if a down-
stream hose or fitting should fail. It is therefore very important to
close any seacock not in use.
