6.2. Fresh water pressure pumps
The galley sink and the basins in the heads are supplied with fresh water by electric pumps installed beneath
the passageways to port and starboard (Figure 6).
A filter is fitted before the pump. This must be cleaned regularly.
It is possible to sterilise the tanks using clonazone tablets (on sale in pharmacies).
Remove the inspection hatches annually for cleaning and refilling with water mixed with a bacterial
detergent, leaving it for a few hours, and then rinse it out two or three times. When winterizing the boat, fill
the tanks completely so as to avoid the growth of algae or bacteria. If there is a risk of freezing, empty the
tanks completely. Never use antifreeze.
Hot water is produced by a water heater connected to the engine cooling system and also the shore power
system.
After emptying the water heater, ensure that the immersion element is immersed again prior to switching
the power back on.
WARNING
Never activate the pump or switch on the water heater if the tanks are empty. Refill the tanks.
If you fail to comply with this, the hot water immersion element and the pressure pump will be
irreparably damaged.
It is imperative to keep the tanks empty in the event of the temperature going below freezing.
