SYSTEM OPERATIONS-34
This system operates independently of the Fresh
Water Pump System and simply depends on its
connection to a suitable garden-type water hose
for its supply of fresh water. When the water sup-
ply is connected to the water inlet and turned ON,
the system is automatically pressurized without the
need for the Fresh Water Pump. The water entering
this system will not fi ll the fresh water tank; a check
valve, located in the pressure line of the Fresh Water
Pump, prevents the water from entering the Fresh
Water tank. Be sure to turn OFF the Fresh Water
Pump at the AC/DC Panel when connected to the
shore water supply.
Connect this system ONLY to a potable water
system that is safe for drinking. DO NOT use
water that may be of questionable quality as
serious illness or death may occur.
When you are connecting your system to a dockside
water supply, be certain to examine all connections
and water lines for any leaks. If any leaks are noted,
turn OFF the water supply immediately and make
the necessary repairs before you turn ON the water
supply again. Remove any trapped air from the
water system by opening all faucets until the air is
exhausted and there is a steady fl ow of water. Close
the faucets after the air is removed.
Always turn OFF the dockside water supply
source when leaving your yacht unattended. A
leak in the system could result in fl ooding and
may cause your yacht to sink.
Fresh Water Filter:
The water pumped from the Fresh Water Tank fl ows
through a fi lter located on the suction side of the
Fresh Water Pump. Its purpose is to remove impuri-
ties that may be present in the Fresh Water System
prior to its consumption. The fi lter is easily removed
from the Fresh Water Pump and should be cleaned
on a regular basis.
The photo below shows Fresh Water Pump and the
Filter.
Dockside Water Supply:
The other source for water is the Dockside Water
Supply. This water source is for when you are
docked and have potable water as a source at the
dock. Your 33C is equipped with a dockside water
inlet located in the transom storage compartment.

the Cockpit.
