FRESH WATER PRESSURE PUMP
Your vessel may feature
a hot/cold combo or
cold transom shower
wash down. Note that
the faucet controls are
marked red for hot and
blue for cold. A sprayer
with sufficient hose is
located in the faucet center. This device is handy for
rinsing off before entering the cockpit from the swim
platform.

TYPICAL FRESH WATER PUMP
FAUCET
The fresh water pump is controlled by a breaker on the
main DC control panel. Energizing the switch allows the
pump to build the water pressure in the distribution lines
to around 35 psi’s.
When the pump reaches this level it should automatically
shut off. If the system drops below a certain pressure
the variable speed pump will restart. If the pump cycles
on and off with no water being used, a leak in the water
system is likely. Periodically clean the water inlet filter
and check the plumbing connectons for tightness. See
the illustration below and the maintenance chapter for
additional information.
The dockside water inlet is
located on the transom. It
allows a hose to be connected
to the inlet pressure valve. The
purpose of the regulator is to
allow water pressures up to 35
psi’s to enter the boat. This
device uses dockside water and
a valve in the system allows the
on-board fresh water supply to be bypassed. It also
eliminates excessive water pressure from bursting water
lines and causing leaks in the boat’s water system.
