HOWTO: Monitor Panel

Water Pump Switch

The button to the right of the four leftmost switches is the water pump switch. It should be on only when you have water in
the fresh water tanks and wish to use the sinks, showers, or toilet. The pump should not be run without water. As with the
patio light switch, pressing the top of the button turns the pump on, and pressing the bottom turns it off.

Water Heater Switch

Your water heater switch is not on the monitor panel; it is on the water heater, in the cabinet to the left of the galley. This is
an electric water heater that runs off 120 volt household current, so you need to be plugged in or running the optional
generator to use it.

Never run the water heater without water in the tank. Fill your fresh water tank and turn the water pump on, then open a hot
water faucet in the galley, bathroom, or outside shower. Once water is flowing out of the hot water faucet, you know there is
water in the water heater.
