Fresh Water - Regal 53 SC Owner's Manual

FRESH WATER SYSTEM
Overview
Your vessel is equipped with a fresh water supply system.
It consists of a fresh water tank, deck fi ll/vent fi ttings,
monitor panel, 2 pressure water pumps with filters,
distribution system, dual manifolds, wash down spigots and
hot water heater. The system features dual water storage
tanks located in the engine room. As needed the pressure
demand type pump is energized, or the dockside system
distributes water through the vessel .
The system is normally winterized from the factory
utilizing a product called "Freeze Ban". It is best to
completely drain the Freeze Ban before adding any water
to the tank in order to minimize the taste of Freeze Ban.
Freeze Ban will not harm you but it does have a peculiar
taste.
The system requires little maintenance except occasional
cleaning of the water fi lter and winterizing in cold weather
climates.

your closest Regal yacht dealer.

the supply hose. Make sure the water source is pure
and drinkable.
Fill until you see water emerging from one of the vents on
either side of the hull close to the water tanks. Since there
are two water tanks, it is normal that one will fi ll before the
other. Keep fi lling the tanks until water emerges from the
other vent. At this point both water tanks are full.

total capacity is approximately
125 gallons or 143 liters. The
water fi ll is located at the deck
rope locker. Make sure you
do not mistake the water fi ll

Using Fresh Water (Potable) System
After fi lling the fresh water tanks do the following to
activate the system:
1. Check the potable water tank valve to ensure it is in the
"off " position.
2. Make sure both the cold and hot water supply valves
along with other desired equipment supply valves located
at the engine room water system manifold are in the "on"
position. Note: All cold water lines are blue and all hot
water lines are red. See illustration E.
3. Ensure all the desired equipment supply valves are in
the "on" position at the forward water system manifold
located under the salon aft fl oor just left of center. See
illustration D.
4. Flip "on" the water pump and booster pump breakers
at the 12 volt ship's control panel located in the starboard
salon aft overhead cabinet. At this point, fresh water
is drawn out of the potable water tank and distributed
through out the vessel by the in-line fresh water pressure
pumps.. The water pumps will shut off when the lines are
fi lled with water. Both pumps are on individual electrical
circuits with individual overcurrent circuit breaker
protection. One of the water pumps is a booster pump
which provides additional system pressure.
5. Initially turn on a sink faucet to purge any air in the
system.
Note: It is not necessary to turn "off " the city water fi ll valve since
there is a one-way valve that prevents the system from back feeding.
