13. Fresh water system
Namaste is equipped with two water tanks with a capacity of 95 gallons split
between them. To fill the tanks, let the water run from the hose for awhile
before placing the end into the fillers that are located on the port aft, on the
transom, and on the bow next to the chain locker. Please ensure that the
correct fillers are used, NOT the holding tanks or the diesel fill.
To use the fresh water system, turn on the fresh water breaker on the 12v
panel and open a faucet. When the tank runs out of water the pump will run
at high speed, the faucet will start to cough air. As soon as you hear the
pump running continuously, check to see if anyone is using water. If not,
switch off the pump immediately to prevent the pump from drawing more air
into the system or the pump overheating, and proceed as follows:
•
Switch off pump
•
Select the next full tank: the valves are located beneath the saloon seats
on the starboard side.

•

second.

built up to operate pressure switch to cut the pump out.

process and open other faucets
