PLUMBING SYSTEMS

5.1 Fresh Water System

GENERAL

The fresh water system consists of a potable water tank, distribution lines and a distribution pump. The pump

is equipped with an automatic pressure switch and is accessed through the port side of the aft berth. An in-

line strainer located near the pump protects the system from debris. The tank is filled through a labeled deck

plate located on the gunwale.

DO NOT FILL THE SYSTEM WITH ANYTHING OTHER THAN WATER. SHOULD THE

SYSTEM BECOME CONTAMINATED WITH FUEL OR OTHER TOXIC FLUIDS, COMPO-

NENT REPLACEMENT MAY BE NECESSARY.

DO NOT CONFUSE FUEL FILL DECK PLATES WITH THE WATER OR WASTE FILL

DECK PLATES. THESE PLATES ARE ALSO LABELED ACCORDINGLY. IF GASOLINE

OR DIESEL IS ACCIDENTALLY PUMPED INTO THE WATER OR WASTE TANK, DO NOT

ATTEMPT TO PUMP IT OUT YOURSELF. WATER AND WASTE PUMPS ARE NOT DE-

SIGNED TO PUMP FUEL AND A FIRE OR EXPLOSION COULD RESULT. HAVE THE FUEL

PROFESSIONALLY REMOVED AND THE COMPONENTS OF THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM

REPLACED AS NECESSARY.

OPERATION

Fill the water supply tank slowly through the labeled deck plate. A water tank level gauge is located in the

cabin DC electrical panel. The tank capacity is approximately 30 gallons. After filling the water tank, partially

open all faucets. The “Fresh Water System” breaker on the cabin DC panel should be "ON." The fresh water

pump is accessed through the compartment under the head sink. Allow the pump to run until all of the air

is purged from the system and a steady stream of water is flowing from each outlet. Next, turn off the faucets

one by one. As the pressure builds, the pump will automatically shut off.

When properly primed and activated, the water system will operate much like the water system in a home.

An automatic pressure sensor keeps the system pressurized. If the system has been recently filled or has not

been used for an extended period, air bubbles may accumulate at the pump and the system may have to be

reprimed.

The galley and head sinks drain directly overboard through a thru-hull fitting. Whenever the boat is left

unattended, the fresh water system switch should be placed in the “OFF” position.

DO NOT ALLOW THE FRESH WATER PUMP TO RUN DRY. THE FRESH WATER PUMP

WORKS ON DEMAND AND WILL NOT SHUT OFF AUTOMATICALLY WHEN THE TANK

IS EMPTY. THIS CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP. ALWAYS TURN THE WA-

TER PRESSURE SWITCH "OFF" WHEN THE FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.
