PUMP-FRESH WATER
The fresh water system in general requires very little
maintenance.
1. See the equipment operation chapter defining the
recommended seasonal disinfection procedure.
2. The fresh water filter need to be cleaned periodically.
Simply remove the hose clamp and unscrew the fresh
water filter to access the screen. Rinse the screen off to
remove any foreign debris. Be sure to use teflon tape on
the pump fitting threads before installing the filter.
Reinstall the components and check for leaks.
3. Periodically check all fittings for leaks.
4. In colder climates, use Winterban or its equivalent in
all the fresh water system components after draining the
system.
5. There is a fuse located at the positive pump wire.

PUMP-OVERBOARD DISCHARGE
If your boat is
equipped with an
overboard
discharge pump
pay close attention
to what materials
are flushed through
the waste system as
it could become
clogged. Do not
pump garbage,
rags, or sanitary
napkins through
the overboard
discharge pump
(macerator). Flush
the waste tank and
pump with fresh
water with each
pump out. Do not run the pump dry or for extended
periods of time since the impeller can be damaged.
Pump the waste system out at decommissioning time and
rinse fresh water through the entire system periodically
to keep the hoses clean of debris especially the pump
out hose.
