Concerning
the
general
layout
of the
system,
please
refer
to drawing BC
OO2 001.
The
system
consists
of a fresh water
tank in
polyethylene
underneath
the
bed in the forepeak,
an
electric
fresh
water
pump
(with
filter)
underneath
the saloon
couch
and a water
heater in
the
technical
area
in the
aft cabin.
All the
pipes
in
the
system
are made
of compression-resistant plastic
and the colour
of the
pipes
immediately
indicates
which
pipes
are for
hot and
which
are for
cold water:
red
=
hot
water, blue
=
cold water.
The
fresh
water
pump
is
powered
by the
12 VDC
on-board
power
system.
The
'Fresh
Water
pump'
switch on
the switch
panel
has to
be switched
on
before
you
can use
the fresh water
system.
During
winter
and
before winter
begins,
take the measures
required
to
prevent
freezing.
When
the weather
becomes
colder
and there is
a likelihood
of frost,
you
should drain
the
pipes
to
the deck shower
as soon
as
possible.
lf the
yacht
is
used infrequently,
change the water
in the fresh
water
tank on
a
regular
basis.
It
may
be necessary
to
clean
and/or disinfect
the fresh water
tank from
time
to time.
Hotwater
Hot
water is
supplied
by the water heater
(optional),
which is
installed
in the
technical
area in the
aft cabin.
The water
in
the water
heater
can be heated
in
two ways
:
.
by means
of
the cooling-water
from
the
engine.
When
the engine
is running
and
at the right
temperature,
some
of the
cooling water
is
conducted
through
the water
heater where
it heats
the contents
of
the heater
to about
g0'C
;
.
via
an electrical
element. This
element
has
a
power
rating
of 800 W
and is operated
via
the
shore
power
supply.
The
water
heater is
connected
to
a thermostatic
valve,
which
controls
the
temperature
of the water
flowing
out
by mixing
in
cold water. Adjust
this
thermostat
to make
the water hotter
or less
hot at
the
outlet of
the hot
water
draw-off
points
on
board.
