CAUTION
• 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.
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.
Sanitizing the Fresh Water Tank
The freshwater system should be sanitized if it has
not been used for a long period or you are unsure
of the quality of the water in the system.
The following steps can be used to sanitize the
system:
• Activate the system, open all hot and cold
faucets and pump out as much water as you
can.
• Make a chlorine solution by mixing two ounces
of household chlorine bleach in a gallon of
water. This mixture will treat approximately
fifteen gallons. If the water tank on your
boat is larger or smaller than 15 gallons, then
adjust the mixture accordingly. Always mix
the chlorine with water in a separate container
first and never add straight chlorine to the
fresh water tank.
• Fill the water tank half full with freshwater and
pour the mixture into the water tank. Top off
the tank.
• Activate the system and allow the water to run
for about one minute at each faucet. Let the
treated water stand for 4-6 hours.
• Drain the system by pumping it dry and flush
with several tank fulls of freshwater.
• The system should now be sanitized and can
be filled with freshwater. If the chlorine smell
is still strong, it should be flushed several more
times with freshwater.
Notice:
The quality of the water in marine freshwater
systems can be questionable. We recom-
mend that you avoid using the water from the
freshwater system for drinking and cooking.
You should only use bottled water for these
purposes.
