The materials from which the components of the
water system are made may give the water supply
a peculiar taste, especially when new. This condition
is normal and can be reduced somewhat through
the use of a water filter; such as that produced by
Shurflo, LLC. The taste will completely dissipate
in time.
J - 2 PRESSURIZED WATER SYSTEM
The water pump is an automatic, on-off, self-priming
pump that can service several outlets at once. The
pump will build up water pressure and will turn off
when it reaches 60 psi. Refer to Figure J4.
The fresh (potable) water system should be
disinfected prior to initial use.
The water system should be disinfected before first
use and at the beginning of each season. The follow-
ing information is a general guide to disinfecting the
fresh water system.
1.
Flush the boat’s water system thoroughly with
fresh water. Make sure all nontoxic antifreeze is
removed from the system.

3.
The water system should be drained completely.
To disinfect the water system, use one gallon of
water and 1/4 cup of Clorox or Purex household
™ ™
bleach (5% sodium hypochlorite solution). This
is recommended for each 15 gallons of tank
capacity.
4.
Allow to stand for three (3) hours. If time is a
factor, greater concentrations of chlorine solution
will be needed to disinfect the water system.

Drain the system.
A. Priming the System
Flush the system thoroughly with fresh water.
Fill the system with fresh water.
After filling the water tank, open all faucets partially.
Activate the FRESH WATER circuit breaker switch
on the cabin 12VDC cabin panel to supply the system
with water. Let the pump run until water comes out of
the galley faucet, transom shower, head faucets and
showers.
To remove excessive chlorine taste or odor which
might remain in the system, prepare a solution of one
quart vinegar to five gallons water and allow this
solution to agitate in the tank for several days during
boating. Then drain tank and refill with fresh water.
After all the air has been purged from the system and
a steady flow of water is coming from each outlet, turn
off the faucets one by one. Begin with the cold water
faucets and continue until all faucets are shut off. As
the pressure builds, the pump will automatically shut
off at 60 psi. Refer to Section H-5 - 12 Volt Electrical
Equipment and the manufacturer’s literature included
in the owner’s packet for additional information.
All drains are equipped with traps, and the water will
drain slowly. If the system is not operating properly,
have it checked by your authorized Four Winns
dealer.
