TYPICAL FRESH (POTABLE) WATER SYSTEM
Your vessel is equipped with a fresh water supply system.
It consists of a fresh water tank, deck ll/vent ttings,
monitor panel, pressure water pump with lter, distribution
system, wash-down faucet, and hot water heater. As
needed the pressure demand type pump is energized, or
the dockside water inlet valve distributes water through the
vessel normally bypassing the potable water tank.
The system is winterized from the factory utilizing a
product called “Freeze Ban”. It is best to completely drain
the Freeze Ban before adding any water to the tank in order
to minimize the taste of Freeze Ban. Freeze Ban will not
harm you but it does have a peculiar taste.
The system requires little maintenance except occasional
ushing and disinfecting the system, cleaning of the water
lter and winterizing in cold weather climates.
For more specic information on the water system contact
your closest Regal dealer.
The fresh water system, also known as the potable water
system uses a tank to distribute water on board.
Note: There are two ways to ll the potable water system.
It can be lled using the foredeck water ll. Also, located
on the aft cockpit is a dockside water valve which connects
to a hose from the marina fresh water supply. There are
special white hoses for potable water system lling that
are odorless. Before lling potable water tank disinfect
entire fresh water system. Use the Public Health
Service Publication information outlined in Chapter
10.
Periodically
check the wa-
ter ll cap for
tightness. On
the underside
of the wa-
ter ll cap is
an “O ring”
which helps
to seal the
cap properly.
The “O ring”
should t tightly around the cap. If it is loose, cracked
or damaged replace it since it helps to keep debris out of
the water system.
For general knowledge all red water lines carry the “hot”
water on board your vessel. Likewise, all blue water lines
carry the “cold” water.
A special reinforced fabricated hose is used to feed the
water pressure pump. The design prevents kinks.
TYPICAL WATER FILL CAP
Filling Water Tank At the Deck Fill
Fill with a clean water system approved hose until you see
water emerging from the deck vent. Reinstall the ll cap
and use a designed “key” to tighten it.
