| Component | Maintenance | Notes and precautions |
| Fresh water tanks | Cleaning and checks | At least every month, drain the fresh water tanks completely and rinse them a couple of times with clean fresh water for change completely the water stowed in the storing tanks and at the same time to wash them too. Periodically pour a specific disinfectant, in the quantity recommended by the Builder, into the tanks, through the intake filler, in order to prevent the formation of bacteria in the system. |
| Electric water heater | Cleaning and checks | MAINTENANCE
At least once a month check the operation of the water heater. If warm water is not available, because of the fresh water circuit discharge, switch OFF the water heater to prevent damaging it resistor. |
| Fresh water system | Checks | In case of need or of maintenance, by acting on the valves installed on the distribution manifolds, it is possible to cut out parts of the system or single uses, without involving the operation of the general system. The high temperature can cause the softening of the pipes and the following slackening of the fittings. Always check the pipes tightening, especially those located near heat sources. During the winter, if you do not use the yacht, it is advisable to drain all the circuits where there is fresh water to avoid cracks due to frost. |
| Autoclave pump | Cleaning and checks | The maintenance of the pump should be serviced by qualified personnel only, after having been disconnected from the power mains. No routine maintenance is required so as long as the following precautions are taken:
Protect electric components of the pump with proper products. NOTE
For further information on use and maintenance, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual. During the winter, if you do not use the yacht, it is advisable to drain all the circuits where there is fresh water to avoid cracks due to frost. The autoclave tank pump is self-priming but it needs though, in order to operate, to have its body filled with liquid. For a correct use, we recommend at first priming or after a long period of idling, to fill the pump body with liquid, to check the pressure inside the tank (it must have the same pressure priming the electric pump) and to verify the clockwise rotation of the pump (seen from the engine side). If the control panel shows the pump operating led remains always lit, but the connected uses are not in use, check for leaks. When anomalous situations occur, such as lack of water or pipes clogging, it indicates the presence of faults by means of the red light “Failure” and stops the pump. Before carrying out maintenance on the fresh water pump, avoid its accidental priming. |
