Disinfect the Fresh Water System
The following is a recommended procedure to disinfect the fresh water system:
1. Flush the entire system thoroughly by allowing potable water to flow through it.
2. Drain the system completely.
3. Fill the entire system with an approved disinfecting solution. Check with your dealer for
recommended products, and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
4. After disinfecting, drain the entire system.
5. Flush the entire system thoroughly several more times with potable water.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the fresh water system will require you to check the fittings and hoses to make sure
that there are no leaks. Before the winter season, the fresh water system must be completely drained
to avoid damage.
Boiler (optional)
Your boat may come equipped with an optional 22L boiler, located on the starboard side of the bilge
just forward of the water tank. To operate, make sure the FRESH WATER switch is in the ON position.
Next, turn on the WATER HEATER breaker located on the 230V main distribution panel.
The boiler's thermostat comes pre-set from the factory at 70
temperature, refer to the boiler's owners manual for explicit instructions.
Maintenance
Maintenance of the boiler will require you to check the fittings and hose connections regularly to
make sure that there are no leaks. The pressure relief valve must be activated regularly to make sure it
is not blocked. This must be done when the water in the boiler is cool. The system should be flushed
several times a year to prolong the life of the system.
Before the winter season, the boiler must be completely drained to avoid damage.
Boiler
Make sure that the fresh water tank is full before operating
the boiler. Operating the boiler empty will cause damage to
the system.
