CAUTIONBefore refilling the fresh water tank, check that the water supplied by the dock fresh water system is drinkable.
The water supplying your yacht’s fresh water circuit is contained in a tank with a capacity of 330 litres (87 gals), located in the aft area of technical room.
The tank is filled via a gravity filling nozzle, located in the stern port side, near the mooring cleats.
The plug of the fresh water tank filler is linked to the structure by means of a steel cable which prevents it from getting lost or falling into the sea.
The tank is also equipped with an air vent located beside the filling plug, and with an electronic level switch that transmits the level indications to the special instrument in the helm position.
From the tank, fresh water is sucked by the autoclave pump, located in the technical room, through a special suction pipe.
The fresh water pump, protected and supplied by the magneto-thermal switch located on the main electrical panel, guarantees the continuous presence of fresh water in the system by a check valve.
When the yacht is left unused, for long periods of inactivity or winter storage, we recommend keeping a concentrated quantity of disinfectant inside the tank, and then to drain the tank by opening all uses.
This will enable a disinfection of the whole system, preventing the formation of bacteria in the system.
CAUTIONBefore refilling the fresh water tank, check that the water supplied by the dock fresh water system is drinkable.
CAUTIONThe fresh water circuit, and particularly the tanks, must be sanitized periodically by pouring in the case a specific disinfectant solution. We recommend in any case that the water coming from the on-board system not be drunk.
CAUTIONRegularly inspect the fresh water and bilge circuits for leaks. Repair any leaks by releasing the pressure in the system, in order to avoid damaging the furniture and the electrical equipment.
CAUTIONThe pressure regulator at pumps output is set at the factory; do not modify.
CAUTIONThe inlet plug is marked “WATER” to avoid accidental introduction of different liquids. To avoid damage to the system and tanks, we recommend replenishing by gravity and not by pressure.
WARNINGIt is a good norm to optimise the use of water, especially if navigating at open sea!
