Silverton 33C - Shower Sump Pump System

SYSTEM OPERATIONS-59
Your 33C is equipped with a shower; it is located
on the starboard side (See Interior Layout in the
Schematics Section of this Owner’s Manual, which
illustrates the location of the shower). The shower
is equipped with a separate Automatic Sump Pump
(Refer to the Mechanical Schematic in the Schemat-
ics Section of this Owner’s Manual for the location of
the Shower Sump Pump). As the water drains from
the shower into the Sump Pump to a certain level,
it raises an automatic switch lever, which activates
the Shower Sump Pump and the water is pumped
overboard. The photo below shows the Shower
Sump Pump System.
Access to the Shower Sump Pump is through a hatch
located on the deck of the Forward Stateroom. The
photo below shows the panel removed.
The Shower Sump Pump System operates on DC
Electrical Power, controlled by a breaker switch lo-
cated on the DC Electrical Panel (Refer to the Electri-
cal Pages of this section of this Owner’s Manual for
the location of the switches).
General maintenance of the Shower Sump Pump
System involves periodic cleaning to remove any ac-
cumulated debris. Remove the six (6) screws secur-
ing the top cover for access to the debris basket and
automatic fl oat switch. If you notice that the shower
does not drain properly, check the pump basket for
debris and clean, if necessary. If the shower still does
not drain properly, check the operation of the pump
by manually raising the automatic fl oat switch. If the
sump pump is operable, but will not drain properly,
check all drain lines for debris and clean as needed.
See your Silverton Dealer for further inspection and
repair if the shower continues to drain improperly.
When operating the Air Conditioner on your 33C,
the Sump Pump Breaker Switches must be turned
ON. Condensation from the Air Conditioner
drains into the Shower Sump Pump System and
this water is pumped overboard by the Sump
Pumps.
Refer to the Winterization and Storage section of
this Owner’s Manual for the proper preparation
and maintenance of the SHOWER SUMP PUMP
SYSTEM prior to seasonal storage.
