2. Installations and circuits
2.1 Tanks and piping - water
2.1.1 Fresh water, drinking water –cold
The yacht has two water tanks with a capacity of altogether about 460 l. Fresh water is supplied via a water
inlet at the transom, port side and on the forecastle near the chain locker. You can take water from the tank
over a hose connection leading to the pressure water-pump.
This pump, realising the complete cold water circulation, is fitted in the head. An interruption of the
operation of the pressure pump is done by cutting off all ducts. All pipes/hoses should be checked for leaks if
the pump continuous working though all ducts were cut off properly.
The pump is protected by a filter which should be regularly checked and cleaned if necessary.
