Water Tank Sensors; Sanitizing The Fresh Water System - Chris-Craft 32 Launch (RJ) Owner's Manual

Water Tank Sensors

SensaTank Marine monitors are the finest and
most reliable on the market.
The Mirus detector cells are mounted on the
outside of polyethylene tank.
The sensors produce a micro-electrical field that
detects liquid levels through the tank wall. There
are no sensors inside the tank to clog, leak, or
jam.

Sanitizing the Fresh Water System

You should always sanitize the fresh water system under the following conditions:
•
Before using it the first time.
•
After winter storage.
•
When the system has not been used for an extended period.
To sanitize the water system:
1. Ensure the water tank is empty before beginning this process.
2. You will need approximately one (1) gallon of weak bleach solution for each fifteen (15) gallons of
tank water.
3. In an appropriate size bucket, make a solution bleach and water using ¼ cup of household,
unscented bleach per gallon of fresh water.
4. Dump water into water tank. Fill the remainder of the tank with fresh water.
5. Activate the water pump and allow air to bleed from the system. Ensure the sanitizing solution is
in all parts of the water system.
6. Allow treated water solution to remain in the system for three to four hours.
7. Drain treated water solution from lines and empty tank.
8. Flush entire system with fresh water, ensuring that all air bled from the system.
9. Empty the system completely, refill, and bleed of air. The system is now ready to use.
If fresh water has an excessive chlorine taste after sanitizing the system:
1. Pour a solution of 1 quart (0.95 liter) of vinegar and 5 gallons (19 liters) of fresh water into the
water tank.
2. Allow the solution to stand for three days.
3. Drain the entire system and thoroughly flush with fresh water.
