TYPICAL FRESH (POTABLE) WATER SYSTEM
Your vessel is equipped with a fresh water supply system.
It consists
of a fresh water tank, deck fi ll/vent fi ttings,
monitor panel, pressure water pump with fi lter, distribution
system, manifolds, wash down spigots and hot water heater.
As needed the pressure demand type pump is energized, or
the dockside system distributes water through the vessel.
The system is normally 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
fl ushing and disinfecting of the tank, cleaning of the water
fi lter and winterizing in cold weather climates.
For more specifi 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 fi ll the potable water system. It
can be fi lled using the fi ll at the forward deck. Also, located
on the aft cockpit is a dockside water valve which connects
to a hose from the marina silcock. There are special white
hoses for potable water system fi lling that are odorless.
Before filling potable water tank disinfect entire
fresh water system. Use the Public Health Service
Publication information outlined in Chapter 10.
Periodically
check the
water fi ll cap
for tightness.
On the un-
derside of
the water fi ll
cap is an “O
ring” which
aids the wa-
ter fi ll cap to
seal properly. The “O ring” should fi t tightly around the
cap. If it is loose, cracked or damaged replace it since it
helps to keep debris out ot 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.
