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.
Check if along the hydraulic circuit, where possible, are present leaks due to the damage of piping.
WARNINGThe 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.
WARNINGDuring 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.
Checks and cleaning
Descaling the resistor
Anode
Ensure that the water heater is emptied periodically, including by draining it, to facilitate cleaning of the tank (see the relevant manual).
To obtain a good performance from the system, it is advisable to descale the resistor about every two years, according to the indications given by the Manufacturer.
Replace the possible anode every two years, according to the indications given.
No routine maintenance is required so long as the following precautions are taken:
- In case of freezing risk, it is necessary to empty the pump body; then refill the pump before operating it but make sure the ambient temperature is higher than the water freezing temperature.
- Make sure the pump never works dry.
- If the pump remains unused for a long time, it is better to empty the body and clean it.
- Periodically check the efficiency of valves and filters, if any.
- To Direct Current motors the brushes must be periodically checked for consumption and spring pressure.
Protect electric components of the pump with proper products.
For further information on use and maintenance, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
WARNINGThe surge 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 priming first 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).
WARNINGIf the control panel shows the pump operating led remains always lit, but the connected utilities are not in use, check for leaks.
WARNINGWhen 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.
By pressing red button (reset) the system restart.
DANGERBefore carrying out maintenance on the fresh water pump, avoid its accidental priming.
