Freshwater System - Bayliner 285 Cruiser Owner's Manual

Chapter 6: Plumbing

Freshwater System

• ONLY use safe drinking (potable) water in your boat's freshwater system.
• ONLY use FDA approved "drinking water safe" hoses when filling the freshwater tank.
• NEVER use common garden hoses for drinking water.
• Read the Freshwater System
section in the Cruiser & Yacht
Owner's Manual.
• The freshwater fill deck fitting
is marked WATER.
• Pressurize the freshwater sys-
tem by either turning On the
freshwater pump switch (the
battery switch must also be
On).
• For the location of the freshwa-
ter pump switch, see the Com-
ponent Locations section of
Chapter 2 in this supplement.
• Turn Off the freshwater pump
switch when your boat is not in
use or when the freshwater tank
is empty.
• Inspect and clean the freshwa-
ter filter often (the filter is
located on the freshwater
pump).
• If your boat is to be left unat-
tended for a long period of
time, pump the freshwater tank
dry to prevent stored water
from becoming stagnant and
distasteful.
• If the freshwater system needs
to be disinfected, ask your
dealer about treatments avail-
able for your boat's system.
