SYSTEM OPERATIONS-82
Normal Operation - Tank Drain Valve
closed and Thru-Hull Valve Open. At this
position seawater is going into the pump,
then into the tank and excess seawater is
going out the overboard drain.
Re-Circulating Mode - Thru-Hull Valve
Closed and Tank Bottom Drain Valve
Open. At this position the water is coming
from the bottom of the tank into the pump,
then back into the tank. The pump is re-
circulating the same seawater.
Clean Strainer Mode - In this mode both
valves must be closed. The pump must
also be off. With both valves closed, no
seawater is going into your pump, which
allows you to open the strainer and clean
it.
The check valve will prevent any water
from the tank from draining through the
pump while cleaning the strainer.
Drain Tank Mode - to drain the tank both
valves must be open. The seawater from
the tank goes through the Tank Bottom
Drain, then thru the thru-hull fi tting.
BE CAREFUL! If the Thru-Hull Valve is
open while underway, the tank will fi ll and
items stored in the tank may fl oat to the
top, usually making the Live Well cover lift
off the tank and go overboard.
Please refer to the drawing below, for the
position of all parts of the Live Well Sys-
tem.
