• Add a commercially available potable water conditioner

to the water tank to keep it fresh.

• Periodically replace the reverse osmosis drinking water

ﬁlters and sanitize the system as instructed in the RO

manufacturers owner’s manual.

Note: The fresh water system must be properly winter

ized prior to winter lay-up. Refer to the section

on winterizing for more information.

THE FRESH WATER PUMP BREAKER SHOULD

BE PLACED IN THE “OFF” POSITION WHENEVER

LEAVING THE BOAT UNATTENDED OR WHEN THE

FRESH WATER SYSTEM IS NOT IN USE.

Sanitizing the Fresh Water Tank

The freshwater system should be sanitized if it has not been

used for a long period or you are unsure of the quality of the

water in the system.

The following steps can be used to sanitize the system:

• Activate the system, open all hot and cold faucets and

pump out as much water as you can.

• Make a chlorine solution by mixing two ounces of house

hold chlorine bleach in a gallon of water. This mixture will

treat approximately ﬁfteen gallons. If the water tank on

your boat is larger or smaller than 15 gallons, then adjust

the mixture accordingly. Always mix the chlorine with

water in a separate container ﬁrst and never add straight

chlorine to the fresh water tank.

• Fill the water tank half full with freshwater and pour the

mixture into the water tank. Top off the tank.

• Activate the system and allow the water to run for about

one minute at each faucet. Let the treated water stand for

4-6 hours.

• Drain the system by pumping it dry and ﬂush with several

tank ﬁlls of freshwater.

• The system should now be sanitized and can be ﬁlled with

freshwater. If the chlorine smell is still strong, it should

be ﬂushed several more times with freshwater.

Note: The quality of the water in marine freshwater sys

tems can be questionable. We recommend that you

avoid using the water from the freshwater system

for drinking and cooking. You should only use

bottled water for these purposes.
