[C320-list] Water System

[Jerry Brown]

   Hi Bill

   I do not have the boat anymore so I cannot look, sorry. If the current
   owner of hull 925 is on the list they could look. I sold it about 5
   years ago.

   I recall buying the accumulator at Home Depot here in Canada in the
   regular domestic plumbing department. It was approximately the same
   length as the pump. Sorry but I do not have more details. I got the
   idea from an earlier list posting so you may want to search the lists.
   My version was less sophisticated than the approach in the listing but
   worked fine.

   I cleaned the screen in the filter (which was pretty clogged) but still
   have the problem.
   What type of accumulator and where did u get it?

   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.
