A. Clean Vents and Screens
Draining the system as mentioned can be very tedious
and an incomplete job can result in expensive repairs.
The use of nontoxic antifreeze (such as RV anti-
freeze) designed for fresh water systems considerably
reduces the work necessary and is a more positive
means of winterizing the system. Follow the directions
included with the antifreeze solution.
Periodically, inspect the water tank vents and thru-hull
vent fittings for any dirt, wax, etc. Carefully remove
any obstruction with a pipe cleaner or similar device.
Be sure not to puncture the screen. The stainless
steel vent cap is not removable.
NOTICE
Failure to keep the water tank vent fittings
clean will cause excessive pressure buildup
within the tank during filling. This can cause
water tank damage.
Periodically remove the filter screens from the fau-
cet discharge spouts and shower head. Remove the
accumulation of sediment from the screens. If neces-
sary, clean out the holes using a fine wire. A buildup
of debris in the faucet filter screens can create enough
restriction to cause the pump to cycle on and off.
Check the in-line water filter/screen for sediment and
blockage. It is located between the water tank and
the pressure water pump. If obstructed, remove from
the water line and either clean or replace the part.
The filter unit will twist apart.
Inspect and clean the shower sump every 30 days.
Some water will always be in the compartment. Se-
diment and other debris will buildup and affect the
automatic bilge switch and pump operation. Remove
the pump’s cover and clean the screen. The screen
will become blocked and the pump will not operate
properly. To clean the compartment, use baking soda
and a fine wire brush to re move dirt and other debris.
This will also serve to disinfect the area.
B. Winterizing the Water System
Winter lay-up service procedures should include a
thorough draining of the water system. Disconnect all
accessible fittings. Blow out all lines. Be sure the hot
water heater, fresh and gray water tanks, transom
shower, pumps and lines are completely dry. Leave
all faucets open. Freezing water can cause severe
damage to all water system components.
NOTICE
Always winterize the fresh water system prior
to winterization of the hull drainage (bilge
pump) system.
