the boat water system
Overall, we have a pretty sweet water system on Dreamkeeper. We not only have a pressurized water system for our galley and head, we also have manual foot pumps to save on energy when we need to. If we need to rinse off, we most often use a sunshower on deck or the pressurized cockpit hose, but have a small shower stall in the head if it's chilly outside.
Water: 3 tanks for a total of 122 gallons. One water tank forward under V-Berth, one midships, and one under quarter berth in starboard stern. We have added a Katadyn Powersurvivor 80E watermaker that uses reverse osmosis to produce fresh water from the ocean. This unit runs at 8 amps @12v DC, and produces 3.4 gallons/hour.
Holding Tank: 19 gallons.
Hot Water: We have a 6 gallon hot water heater that needs shore power or the engine running to heat it up.
