Filling Fresh Water Tank

(1/2) > >>

harry kew:
The fresh water tank on my 99 Patriot 40' is slow to fill with fresh water. It takes 1/2 to 3/4 of an hour to fill the 100 gallon tank. Is this normal?

Gerald Farris:
There are some modifications that can be made to your system to increase your water flow rate (decrease fill time), but the 1/2 hour fill time is about right without them.

Gerald

harry kew:
Thanks Gerald. Do you know what the modifications would be?

Jerry Carr:
I see the same problem on our 07 Pat. Thunder, at first I had assume this to be an indication of the line filters problem after changing these out I still have the same problem. You would think that Beaver would have corrected the problem by 07

About 10 years ago, I sent Matt Perlot a solution for that problem.  The suggestion was to add a 1 inch fill tube directly into the tank without restrictions.  He said that could not be done because the tank was mounted against the roof of the bay.  I guess he didn't think of lowering the water tank to the floor.  That would lower the center of gravity and making it possible to fill the tank in 10 minutes.  That would have involved engineering ie money.
