Qué cubre este vídeo

Dan and Kika install a custom freshwater plumbing system on their boat, prioritizing efficiency and tank protection. Dan replaces the hot water heater’s 500-watt element with a 1200-watt version to reduce heating time to approximately 15 minutes, opting against an instant hot water heater due to the high power requirements of 5–15 kilowatt elements.▶ 5:08 He uses stainless steel braided lines for the hot water output to withstand higher temperatures, while using PEX tubing for cold water intake.▶ 4:22 The system includes a check valve, isolation shut-off valve, and a solenoid valve wired to a float switch to prevent accidental tank overflow during dockside filling.▶ 16:17 A secondary valve configuration allows the onboard pressure pump to divert water to a deck hose for rinsing the anchor chain.▶ 15:38 The installation also incorporates a pre-filter and pressure reduction valve for incoming dock water.▶ 15:53
