Disinfecting The Fresh Water System

APPENDIX - POTABLE WATER SYSTEMS

The information contained in this appendix provides supplementary data about disinfecting a potable water system.

A SUGGESTED METHOD OF DISINFECTION Perform the following steps in the order indicated: a.

Flush entire system thoroughly by allowing potable water to flow through it; b.

Drain system completely; c.

Fill entire system with a chlorine solution having a strength of at least 100 parts per million, and allow to stand for one (1) hour. Shorter periods will require greater concentrations of chlorine solution. See Table I d.

Drain chlorine solution from entire system; e.

Flush entire system thoroughly with potable water; f.

Fill system with potable water.

Table I shows how much disinfecting agent is required to make up various quantities of 100 parts per million chlorine solution.

TABLE I – CHLORINE CONCENTRATIONS Amount of chlorine compound required for 100 ppm solution Solution (Gallons)

Chlorinated Lime 25% (ounces)

High Test Calcium Hypochlorite 70% (ounces)

Liquid Sodium Hypochlorite 1% (quarts)

BILGE PUMP SYSTEM

STE

12V 1100GPH

The bilge pumps operate automatically by checking for water every 2.5 minutes even with battery switches and breakers in the OFF position.

However, the bilge pumps will run continuously once their switches are placed in the on position.

Monitor the outflow accordingly. Do not run when dry.

• Manual switches are located at the helm for the forward and center pumps.

• The aft bilge pump switch is located in the aft section of the cockpit.

High Water Alarm: Triggered = Red light/audible alarm Off = Normal operation.

The switch should remain in the down “armed position” while cruising.

Middle position mutes the alarm and all the way up is a momentary “alarm test”.

The bilge pumps operate automatically with electronic float switches regardless of battery switch position.

However, the aft, forward and pod pumps will run continuously once their switches are placed in the on position. Monitor the outflow accordingly. Do not run when dry.
