The fresh water system supplies the sink in the galley, the wash basin and shower in the head, and the transom
shower. This system is pressurized by an electric pump. Between the water tank and the pump is a filter. It is necessary to
check and clean this filter regularly.
Never run an electric pump when the tank is empty. It may burn out the pump.
To prevent any over pressure in the system during filling, never force the filling nozzle deep down the filler pipe and
keep an eye on the vent hole(s) through which the excess water will be discharged.
When the system has not been used for a long period of time, the tanks and pipes should be cleansed with an acetic
acid solution (white vinegar).
The water drains out from the sink and wash basins through their own thru-hulls. Close them when the water system is not
used.
