A boat's water system is a self-contained loop of tank, pump, and fixtures, and keeping it clean is the whole job. Stagnant tank water is the most common boat-water problem.
The tank
Fresh water is stored in a tank that is cleaned and sanitized on a schedule, because standing water grows bacteria and tastes stale. freezing winters put stress on exposed lines, and many older buildings have aging supply and drain lines In Schenectady, boats in the water all season need the most care.
The pump
A demand pump pressurizes the system and cycles as the faucets open, and the pressure switch and the accumulator keep the flow even.
The fixtures
Galley faucets, showers, and heads all draw from the same system, and the lines are protected against chafe and cold.
The winter
The tank and the lines are drained and treated for winter storage, and antifreeze protects what cannot drain.
