SYSTEM OPERATIONS-46
The photo above shows the water pump on
the aft bulkhead of the compartment. The
fresh water pump operates on DC electrical
power controlled by a breaker switch located
on the DC Electrical Panel. The fresh water
pump is equipped with an automatic pres-
sure switch and when it is supplied with
electrical power, it will operate until the entire
fresh water system is pressurized to a preset
pressure. Once the required pressure is
obtained, the fresh water pump will auto-
matically shut off. The fresh water system
should maintain the preset level of water
pressure until one of the faucet or shower
valves is opened. When the required pres-
sure is lowered below the preset level, the
fresh water pump will automatically return
to operation.
Fresh Water Filter:
The water pumped from the fresh water tank
fl ows through a fi lter located on the suction
side of the fresh water pump. Its purpose is
to remove impurities that may be present in
the fresh water system prior to its consump-
tion. The
fi lter is easily removed from the
fresh water pump and should be cleaned on
a regular basis. The accumulator maintains
a constant pressure throughout your water
system.
Fresh Water Lines (Cold Water and Hot
Water):
The fresh water lines carry the water
from the fresh water tanks, the water heater,
and the various faucets located in the Gal-
ley and Head areas of your
45C . They are
constructed of polybutylene plastic material
and are 1/2 inch inside diameter. The COLD
WATER lines have pale blue manufacturer’s
lettering and the HOT WATER lines have
pale red manufacturer’s lettering for identi-
fi cation purposes. The fresh water lines re-
quire minimal maintenance, but they should
be visually examined on a regular basis for
any leaks, cha
fi ng, or cracking. Tighten
any loose connections as necessary. See
your Silverton Dealer for inspection of any
suspected defective fresh water lines and
their replacement, if necessary.
Dockside Water Supply System
Your 45C is equipped with a dockside water
inlet located in the transom storage compart-
ment. The photo below shows the Fresh
Water Inlet at the cockpit.
