11 Freshwater system
The freshwater system consists of the following components.
Fixed freshwater tank
Water pump
Water heater (Available optionally for some boat models)
One or several water outlets depending on the boat's equipment level.
The outlets can include a deck shower, pantry tap and toilet tap.
Risk of material damage.
Leftover water in the system may freeze during winter lay-up and cause damage to the system.
Always empty the freshwater system if you leave the boat unused for longer periods of time. Use pressurized air to empty the hoses completely if necessary.
Disinfect the freshwater system annually. Consult your local boat dealer on suitable chemicals for disinfecting plastic fresh water tanks and follow the instructions given.
The inlet of the freshwater system is indicated with blue colour and with the text WATER. The capacity of the water tank is specified in Technical specifications.
Check the inlet's O-ring seal for wear every time you fill the water tank. Change the seal if necessary.
The freshwater system is a closed system, and heat can cause a biofilm to appear on the inner surface of the tank and the hoses.
Clean the system if the water tastes or smells bad, or if it is dirty.
Also clean the system thoroughly if algae or slime is found on the inner surfaces of the tank or hoses.
