5.4 Freshwater System Maintenance
Information supplied with water system components, by the equipment manufacturers, is included
with this manual. Refer to this information for additional operation and service data.
The following items should be done routinely to maintain your freshwater system:
• Remove the filter screens from the faucet spouts and eliminate any accumulation of debris. A
build up of debris can cause the pump to cycle excessively.
• Periodically remove the lid on the cabin drain sump assembly located under the floor of the
storage compartment just aft of the rear cabin bulkhead. Clean debris from the sump and flush
with clean water.
• Periodically spray the pumps and metal components with a metal protector.
• The batteries must be properly maintained and charged. Operating the pressure pump from a
battery with a low charge could lead to pump failure.
• Add a commercially available potable water conditioner to the water tank to keep it fresh.
• Periodically, remove the water tank vent and clean corrosion and salt buildup from the vent
screens. The screens will prevent insects and other foreign matter from contaminating the water
system. The vent should be replaced if the vent or screens are damaged or badly corroded.
Vent screens that are clogged will prevent the water tank from venting properly and make filling
the tank difficult.
Be sure the screens are secure and that the vent hose is properly routed and attached when the
vent is reinstalled or replaced. The vent hose must be looped above the vent, secured to the
hull near the vent and securely attached to the vent hose fitting with a hose clamp.
THE BATTERIES MUST BE PROPERLY CHARGED. OPERATING THE FRESHWATER PUMP
FROM A BATTERY WITH A LOW CHARGE MAY LEAD TO A PUMP FAILURE.
