1994-2000 Four Winns Vista 238 258 278 Boat Service Owners Manual

The water temperature can vary during shower
use as the pressure pump cycles on and off.  For
greatest consistency, turn the cold water on full,
then mix in hot water until the desired temperature
is obtained.
A shower sump pump is incorporated into the drain sys-
tem of the  shower.  The shower  drains into the sump
pump located forward of the aft cabin. The water will be
pumped overboard.  If a grey water system is installed,
the water will be pumped into a holding tank.
The sump pump includes an automatic bilge switch and
is protected by a circuit breaker at the cabin panel. The
sump pump will automatically start as soon as the water
in the sump reaches a level that will cause the float on
the switch to rise.
After showering, let the water flow for a period of time to
flush the pump  of soap residue.   Check the sump for
excess residue.  When rinsed out, the pump  will auto-
matically shut off.
If water flow from the shower head appears to be restrict-
ed,itmaybeduetosedimentaccumulatingattheshower
head. If necessary, remove the head and clean the dis-
charge holes with a fine wire.
