Your vessel is equipped with a fresh water supply system.
It consists of a water tank, deck fill vent, water monitor
system, pressure water pump, distribution system, water
filter, dockside water pressure regulator and water heater.
The system holds fresh water until it is energized with
the variable pressure pump or with the dockside water
pressure regulator system. The system will supply water
to the galley, head, cockpit and transom shower as
needed.
The system is winterized from the factory utilizing a
product called “freeze ban”. Completely drain the freeze
ban before adding any water to the tank in order to
minimize the taste of the Freezeban. Freezeban will not
harm you but it does have a peculiar taste. The system
requires little maintenance except occasional cleaning of
the water filter and winterizing if in colder climates.
The water system should be disinfected prior to use and
at the beginning of each season. Your marina may have
products designed specifically for this purpose. An
alternative is to use common household bleach. The
formula used by the U.S. Public Health Service is to
multiply the gallon capacity of the system by 0.13 to get
the ounces of common bleach to add to the system. Mix
a solution of common bleach with a gallon of water and
add to the water storage tank through the fill located on
the port aft deck. Fill the tank with fresh water. All faucets
should be turned on until a bleach odor is detected. The
system will be sanitized in four hours at which time the
system should be drained using the faucets and then
refilled with fresh water. Flush system by draining the
tank again. Fresh water can be added to the tank by using
a hose. Make sure the dockside water supply is suitable
for drinking.

TYPICAL OVERBOARD VENT
The overboard
vent located on
the hullside is
designed to help
relieve the air
that is displaced
by the water
being added to
the water supply
tank. As the tank
nears full it is
possible that
water will be
forced out of the vent. This should be considered normal.
The screen on the vent should be occasionally inspected
for insects or spider webs, etc. Blockage of this vent can
cause the water tank to fill slowly or in extreme cases to
blow water back out the fill tube as the water supply
tank is being filled.
