[C320-list] Water System

[Jerry Brown]

In our previous (#925) and current boats the filter was integral to the pump 
and unscrewed from the pump with a wire mesh filter.  In #925 the pump was 
under the aft berth and I added an accumulator mounted to the same board as 
the pump to even out the flow, reduce hammer and temperature fluctuations. 
It worked well.  On the current boat the pump is under the port bench seat 
in the main cabin and seems to give much more even flow without needing an 
accumulator, provided I keep the filter clean.  Sorry but I do not know the 
pump makes.

Does anyone know the possible location of the water filter? I'm looking 
around and can't find it.
I looked in the schematic and it doesn't show any filter.
Thanks.
