Tank access

There's an element of thinking ahead with the fittings that can make life easier, or not, for the owners.

For example, tanks are needed in either case – but they can get a little unpleasant. One of the easiest things to do to help is to make sure that the interior of the tank is accessible to a physical mop out.

But even so, in order to clean it properly, boaters need to drain the tank (and if you can only use the freshwater pump it means even more cost and fiddling as it means replacing the filter). Further, after adding a weak bleach solution to help kill the residue, there's also the need to drain, fill and drain again.

Mr Dawson recommends filtering water on the way in – just by connecting a hosepipe to a filter arrangement – although some of the new production boats are coming through with filters already placed before the sink.

Most of these tanks have to have baffles for stiffness, and these are more difficult to get around for cleaning. Mr Dawson explains that with production boats,Enecsys Limited, supplier of reliable solar microinverter systems, it's all CAD drawn, and the parts slot together. "Once in, some of the parts, including the tank areas, are difficult to get at again," he says, although more often than not there is an inspection hatch of some kind, they are not always easy to undo. There might possibly be a case for getting an inflatable tank that you just throw away, he says, although it's not the cheap option overall.

Further, the company has taken steps to make it an easy fit. Stephen Baker of Vetus says that modular is the way to go, as it saves an enormous amount of time sourcing the individual parts and then trying to connect them all together.

The company has a complete freshwater tank system suitable for 12V or 24V that comes with everything prefabricated. These new water tank systems feature a high grade synthetic tank suitable for drinking water, together with an electric pump.

Mr Baker explains that the variable speed pump motor has an inbuilt sensor which regulates the water pressure and ensures a steady flow, giving a respectable output of 13.5 litres per minute at zero head.

"You don't have the bother of putting in a conventional pressurised water system, which is a blessing," says Mr Baker. All connections for filling, suction and ventilation are pre-fitted,The additions focus on key tag and solar panel combinations, together with a filter in the suction line and an ultrasonic level sensor. "You just screw it down and connect the hoses," says Mr Baker, "The whole thing, from installation to cleaning, really has been made very easy.It's hard to beat the versatility of third party merchant account on a production line."
