TANKS
The sailing yacht is equipped with fresh water tanks (see Fig.10). They are filled via fresh
water fillers (see Fig.10) marked “WATER”. Unscrew the plug using a winch handle. A fresh
water level indicator is located on the electrical control panel. The tanks are connected, so
that the water level is equal in all tanks. At the top of the tanks, there is an opening for
inspection and cleaning.
CAUTION: - After filling the tanks, close the fillers carefully and screw them tight to
avoid the risk of seawater entering the fresh water tanks.
- To avoid the risk of contaminating one liquid with the other one, never fill
fresh water and fuel at the same time.
CONSUMERS
An electrical fresh water pump (see Fig.10) located inside the galley is used to pump fresh
water to the consumers. The fresh water pump is automatically shut off by a pressure valve
when pressure reaches 1.5 bar.
CAUTION: - Take care not to operate the electric pump when the fresh water tanks
are empty.
- Always open the sink and waste water seacocks when using fresh water
from the tanks.
- When sailing close the water tank connection valve.
