[C320-list] Swtiching between fresh water tanks

[allanfield47 at gmail.com]

Also, the tanks drain from the forward tank first to aft tank last.  We put a Snake River tank monitoring system in and just left the valves under the aft bunk open.  When the aft tank started to get low, we'd know it was time to refill.  The Snake River system also monitored the holding tank.

Clay,
On Commitment, 2001 #867 there are two valves near the water pump under the aft cabin mattress on the port side. We can shut off each tank independently or leave both on (we do the latter). Some owners who prefer to run the tanks separately have relocated the valves under the galley sink for more convenient access.
