Fresh Water System - Bavaria 36 2010 Information & Operation Manual

12. Fresh water system

Farr Out has a water capacity of 96 gallons shared between two tanks.
Before filling the tank let the water run from the hose for a while before placing the end into the
filler that is located on the transom and the bow. 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 a tank runs out of water, the pump will run at high speed and 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.
We have installed a second, spare, fresh water pump to cut down any delays to your charter due
to a pump break down. Do not switch pumps unless you have talked to one of our staff about
how this is done. Use the menu key on the 12v panel to confirm if your tank is empty.
To switch tanks:
Switch off water pump
Select the next full tank: the lever is located under the sink in the head.
The lever is not „on‟ or „off‟ – it has two positions (horizontal and vertical) that select one or
other tank. After selecting required tank:
Switch on water pump.
Open cold water faucet at galley and purge system of air, approx. 45 seconds
Turn off faucet, pump will continue to run until adequate pressure has built up to operate
pressure switch to cut the pump out.
If pump does not cut out, it may be necessary to repeat the purging process and open other
faucets
If you have any problems, call Horizon.
