Freshwater System - Bayliner 265 Owner's Manual Supplemente

Chapter 6: Plumbing

Freshwater System

• Only use safe drinking (potable) water in your boat's freshwater system.
• Only use an FDA approved, white 'drinking water safe' hose to fill the freshwater tank.
• NEVER use a common garden hose for drinking water.
• Read the Freshwater system
section in the Cruiser & Yacht
Owner's Manual.
• Your boat is equipped with a pres-
sure type (demand) freshwater
(potable) system.
• This system can be pressurized by
turning On the freshwater pump.
• See the Locations section of this
Supplement for the location of the
freshwater pump switch.
• Since the freshwater pump requires
DC power, the battery switch must
be turned On for the pump to work.
• Turn Off the freshwater pump when
the boat is not in use or when the
freshwater tank is empty.
• Inspect and clean the freshwater
filter often (located on the fresh-
water pump).
• If your boat is to be left unattended
for a long period of time, pump the
freshwater tank dry to prevent
stored water from becoming stag-
nant and distasteful.
• If the freshwater system needs to
be disinfected, ask your dealer
about treatments available for your
boat's system.
