Water, Water, Everywhere.

Plumbing is coming along on Sweets, being back at work now, mark has the morning to work before he goes in for the evening shift and currently he has all the water lines run and the water filter set up, everything hooked up to the pump and city water intake. 

Bathroom sink water

lines.

Lines running through the bilges in the main salon.

I told Mark he should paint the bilges before running the lines, but whatever...

Here is the pump, looks kind of wonky to me. Those angles seem sharp but the Manuel suggested the water loop into the pump and loop out, but our hoses are rigid and couldn't bend without compromising the integrity of the line (fancy way to say kink in the line) so mark cut it and put an elbow in it. 

The water filter, that came with the boat, all cleaned and sanitized and a new filter of course.

Water lines going to the thru hulls to the water heater and the water intake.

So far so good, but of case we haven't actually run water through it all yet. We still need drains in the sinks and the piping for the grey water tank, which we do have, the boat came with two 50 gallon bladders, didn't feel comfortable using them for fresh water but grey is fine. And we still need a holding tank for the fresh water and the accumulator tank was delivered today.

Here's hoping it all works. Fingers crossed.

Mark is on his last week of work before he flies down here to join us in Florida for three weeks, so he doesn't have much time to wrap up his work. We are still having a dickens of a time with our windows and hatches, when we first bought the boat we spent days take out all the hatches and windows and cleaning them up and re sealing them and all this succeeded in doing was causing a slightly lesser leak through them all. The starboard side cabin window leaks even worse somehow. Now I know boats are never going to be water tight, they will always have some leaking but if this is going to be our home, it's small and cramp, I have to duck to get into the bathroom, fine, but I want it as dry as possible.

So off Mark goes again, searching the web for solutions and he has ordered the type of tape and glue/silicone that is used to fuse fishtanks and skyscrapers together, if that doesn't work, nothing will.

When we are finished with all the plumbing I'll have mark write a post about how it all technically works.

Nap time.
