Here are 2 pictures of the pressurised freshwater system installed in my Rival 32 project.
Both pulleys (connected by a belt) are seized solid and the whole shebang shown in the picture looks to be terminally corroded, my question in respect of the first picture is, what are the other 2 components in the picture? Presumably (but maybe not) they all work together to supply the pressurised water system? Which bit does what? What can I replace this mess with? There are hot & cold taps in the galley and ditto in the heads. Nothing else, do I need to replace this system with like for like or can I install a simpler setup? I have no idea what pressure the pump needs to be to suit my requirements. I’m really in the dark and advice is sorely needed! Is there a one unit solution available?
The second picture seems to show a Coleman 2236A pressure accumulator vessel linked to an Aqua filter housing, also in poor state of repair. Can the accumulator tank be be incorporated directly with a more modern “pressurised freshwater” system and do I need the Quafilter at all?
Essentially what I’d like is for someone who knows what they’re taking about to tell me to rip it all out and install a ready assembled xxxxxxx manufactured by company yyyyyy.
Thanks.
