6.1 FRESH WATER SYSTEM

The fresh water tank has a capacity of 2500 l and is equipped with an inspection lid on which all connections are fitted:

• Water inlet
  Located on the walk-around of the main deck.
• Fresh water tank vent
  It is located on the starboard side.
• Tank level electric check
  It checks the fresh water level in the tank. The tank level is indicated through the monitoring system.
  
• Desalinated water inlet
  The system can be supplied not only from shore, but also by the watermakers located in the technical room.
  

1. Water connection from the shore
2. Freshwater autoclave pump
3. Watermaker
4. Distribution manifold
5. Deck washing socket
6. Freshwater boarding nozzle

The water makers draw sea water through a centralized sea cock; while the water flows in through the membranes under pressure, the salt is removed and fresh water is then sent to the tank.

For a detailed description and the instructions for use of the various devices, please refer to the Manufacturer’s Manuals supplied separately.

The system can be supplied also through shore water inlet.

Your yacht is equipped with a water purification system.
Water purification system innovative technology harnesses the power of Reverse Osmosis to purify your dock water into pure water. Unlike water softeners, reverse osmosis filters up to 0.0001 micron.

On the shore supply line there is a pressure relief valve.

The system consists of the following main equipment.

• Autoclave pumps: installed under the stern garage, they draw water from the fresh water tank and make it available to the various on-board utilities (sinks, showers, etc.)
• Watermaker: draws sea water and, once desalinated, feeds the fresh water tank;
• Water heaters: placed under the crew area, they heat the water;
• Distribution manifolds: they ensure the on-board utilities are fed with fresh water;
• UV water sterilizer (optional);
• Activated carbon filter (optional);
• Water softener (optional).

CAUTION

Notwithstanding the presence of a pressure limiter, check the pressure on the pressure gauge installed near the pumps.

When filling fresh water by means of the direct inlet from shore, the fresh water tank is not filled. The fresh water tank can be filled only by means of the side inlet filler.

CAUTION

Before refilling the fresh water tank, check that the water supplied by the shore fresh water system is potable.
