WATER/WASTE SYSTEM OVERVIEW
Fresh Water System
Your vessel may be equipped with a fresh water supply
system. It consists of a fresh water tank, deck fill/vent,
monitor system, pressure water pump with filter,
distribution system, dockside water pressure regulator and
water heater. The system holds fresh water until it is
needed and then with the pressure pump energized, or
with the dockside water pressure regulator the system will
supply water to the galley, head, and transom shower.
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 cleaning of
the water filter and winterizing during cold weather.
For more specific information on the water system see
the equipment operation and troubleshooting chapters.
Waste Water System
Your vessel is equipped with various devices that make
up the waste water system. They include the toilet,
overboard discharge pump (optional), shower sump pump,
monitor gauge, waste tank, deck fittings, drains, seacocks
and waste tank. For more specific information on the waste
system see the equipment operation and troubleshooting
chapters.
