Dan and Kika install a freshwater distribution system on their sailboat, focusing on tank connectivity, pump orientation, and pressure regulation. To save space between two water tanks, they use compact brass fittings rather than bulkier plastic alternatives.▶ 1:20 They install a shutoff valve at the base of the tanks to allow for isolation in case of leaks or contamination.▶ 0:40 The plumbing layout includes a 1-liter expansion tank to prevent the pressure pump from cycling rapidly during low-flow usage, such as brushing teeth.▶ 15:17 Dan mounts the pump horizontally with the filter facing downward to ensure easy maintenance and prevent water from dripping onto the motor during filter changes.▶ 14:42 The system design allows the crew to use dockside water pressure to fill the tanks or supply the boat’s fixtures directly by manipulating a series of valves and a quick-connect fitting at the cockpit shower.▶ 16:56 They use Loctite thread sealant instead of traditional Teflon tape for all threaded connections.▶ 4:51
