5.1.1 Cold fresh water system

The system is kept under pressure by a autoclave pump..

The pump supplies the system by drawing water from the tank; the water flowing through pipes and manifolds supplies following services:

WARNING

Before activating the system, ensure the proper position opening/ closing of the manifold valves: valve open, lever parallel to input hose, valve closed, lever perpendicular to input hose.

WARNING

During navigation and, in general, when the water in the tank is used, we remind closing the valve fitted on the shore inlet line, located in the engine room.

If the yacht is moored in a marina that includes running water service, the equipment can be supplied without using the yacht’s autoclave, due to the shore system’s pressure.

The connection to the running water system from the shore is carried out by means of the water inlet located at the stern on the starboard side.

A pressure reducer, located in the engine room, protects the yacht’s water system against harmful pressure variations.

The fresh cold water reaches all utilities through the distribution manifolds, provided with check valves in order to enable the sectioning of the system in case of failure or maintenance. The distribution manifolds are located in the engine room and in the galley bilge.

NOTE

For further information on use and maintenance, please refer to the manufacturer’s manual.
