Water leaks in your boat! Where is the leak! In this video we look at water in the boat and one place that it can come from. A common problem we sort it out ...

that one and that one huh off for your

eating circuit from your engine and we

got clear as mud

you

this is a clarifier it uses the engines

coolant to make hot water or it makes

hot water via an electric element which

is thermostatically-controlled inside

the boiler and this is how it works

coolant from your engine circulates

through a coil inside the chlorophyll

this heats the cold freshwater or the

electric element which is

thermostatically-controlled heats the

water cold water enters the chlorophyll

cylinder here and exits as hot water

here there is a thermostatic setting on

the valve or bypass which allows hot

water to be regulated where it comes out

the tap will force it compose the video

here to see the full diagram

Attaway noodles that way

[Music]

well that was quick

that's a good service so it's Thursday

night and today is Tuesday morning I

knew one of them let's hope it's the

right one

time

[Music]

[Applause]

exactly as it was in the photograph

perfect that is

that's one C&S both those bottom two

outlets straight and why we've got one

straight on one elbow but they are right

that elbow comes out that's the elbow is

a press fitting

yes so actually they are identical so

you just take that elbow out and put

that elbow on there yeah and that's it

and this time we'll set the thermostat a

bit lower so you don't burn yourself yes

that's perfect even looks like the

straps are in the same place yeah what I

need to do now is put in fittings I mean

those bloody catch is broken look at

that

that's broken off their art it's been

wall up to knitting deliverer here well

what we do is we take that one off of

there now this one's okay so just need

to have two tested stickers that one's

okay that's a bit of it isn't it don't

you photograph that and send it to

[Music]

we just cut through the live Neutron

earth to the thermostat and heater there

we'll take this e to stay help later and

we swapped over the broken one for the

new one rewired it put the test labels

over but the reason it's gone is because

if you lift these tubes up will lift the

cylinder up by the tubes you can see

there's a gap between the insulation and

the tubes and what's holding this

cylinder up inside this insulation at

the moment is one m4 bolt there and two

there so this gets hit on the end it

pushes that down which forces these two

welded and this will did stud down and

breaks off the plastic here actually a

better way to transport it rather than

that way up as shown there is to keep it

on its side

because then the pressure will be on the

side and not on the ends

there you go SBV I've just sorted out

one of your delivery issues you can see

that's that's where that's been pulled

up

oh no catastrophe but you know

hey hope number twenty minutes we'll

have it in well actually before we put

it in let's just show you so these two

here this one and this one they go to

your engine so that's the coolant that

circulates around your engine via water

pump goes through here through a coil

and then out here your cold water goes

in here and then there's a bypass relief

valve here where you can turn the

temperature up and down which is that

one there and your hot water comes out

here oh we've got this hot water

cylinder chlorophyll boilers sometimes

called out I'll show you what they look

like without the installation I'll just

take particular note of these worlds

here and that's just Spain this world

and that's the Machine world quite easy

to tell the reason it was leaking if I

turn this round the wrong way can you

see that the water's come out of the

world they're at repair has been done

with a MIG welder which has stainless

wire in it and the reason we can tell

that is that a MIG welder uses an

electric arc in a co2 gas and you get

lots of splatter like this

now TIG welder creates an arc with an

inert gas in and you then use a filler

on

and that's what that should look like so

this is a TIG world and this is a mig

welder and the TIG weld is much much

cooler and the MIG weld has actually

distorted all the end of the cylinder as

well and it's not been polished up and

so the repair world has failed and it's

fouled within three years so this is the

heater and thermostat in one so there's

a electric heater element in here and a

thermostat and the thermostat is just a

switch that works on temperature and you

set the temperature you want it to heat

too on this little red dial here current

flows through the brown and the blue so

this is your live or hot wire and this

is the neutral ground and this is the

earth and these two this one here and

this one here are the hot water heating

coil which comes from the coolant in

your engine so it goes round the engine

via a pump through here nice and hot

goes around a coil inside the drum and

then out of this one here and it heats

the water that's in this drum so these

two here and this one is your cold water

input so your cold water comes into the

tank here and you'll note that it's teed

off here and goes across to this valve

I'll come to that in a second

and this is your pressure setting valve

so this is where the pressure becomes

too great it blows out through here and

you can set that to go off and these

ones I think are up to 4 bar 4 bar limit

1 bar is 14 point 7 pounds so it's about

60 psi that that'll actually go up to

and this valve which comes across from

the cold water input you know actually

attaches to the hot water yeah you can

see the hot water labels still on there

and the reason for that is that this

valve if I turn it over you can mix the

hot out of here and this cold to give

you the temperature which you want so

that controls the temperature of the

mixing of the cold water from here

through this valve and then the hot

water that comes out of this Junction

here actually then you can set the

temperature so that's how it works let's

flick across that drawing so you can see

the schematic again

you

I went in oak I didn't it it just it's

slid in exactly the same well I mean

I've put it where the bands are I've

moved it yet because I need an extra

pair of hands

I think we probably attached them the

lines before we actually finally do up

the straps yeah I think that's a good

idea cuz in your career

I mean those straps are roughly in the

same position yeah well we mentioned it

off the other one that there's a sign on

it so it's just a matter of connecting

pipes now and then yeah theoretically

and don't forget that your pressure

header tank is released people will turn

your pump on

eivol you'll have water everywhere

remember Andy yeah pressure yes take the

pressure out well I'm hopefully we're

gonna be here where we do that well we

can do it now Pam we know they're

cleaner yeah it's tight okay so this is

our hot water out this is a power cable

but you must not plug in until the

boiler is glorified is full of water so

that's off to one side now can't we

water feed comes in there and then air

bypass valve so all that's left to do is

to tighten up these two ma bolts one

there and one there and of course m8

will be an M 13 spanner wrench will

probably do those who decide these are

air connections to the coolant one there

and one over the back there all on

nicely done so baby's just gonna tighten

these up

if you can get you if you can get

fingers in there yeah righty-tighty

lefty-loosey m8 13 m 10 and 17 and 12

19th pressure vessel back in and tighten

so when you turn the water on a pump

from one of your two tanks yep into the

pump they'll go past that pressure

vessel and the pressure will build up

inside there so that when the pump

clicks off this gives a the water

pressure a helping hand when you first

open a tap or a valve so what tank we're

gonna go on one hand is the rear tank

lefty loosy right water on and this

check for leaks control panel switch off

yep control that yeah control panel

switch the tap is open now leave it open

so it gets water through the system

no leaks okay you shut the tap off and

let's let the pressure build a tiny

interval so if you took if you've turned

your tap off yeah so the pressures

building up now

so if you now shut your hot water tap

off and your pumps cut out which means

you're up to pressure yeah and no leaks

no x-ray that healer joins nothing

absolutely perfect good job so what was

that for five million twenty five

minutes and as you say looks complicated

doesn't it and it's just very very

complicated you frightened me to death

but when you explained then I can I can

see it like I said if you know how it

works you know how to fix it no problems

we can plug you'll well actually I think

what we'll do is we'll run a bit more

hot water through take any air bubbles

out final air bubbles out of there

before we plug the yeah hi folks hi

it's only us again well we thought we'd

give you a bit of an update at the end

of this video

today's date is the 22nd of April we're

still in Gator in Italy we've been here

since October and we've been quarantined

or been knocked down since the 9th of

March now the latest information that

we've got from the marina is that we may

be able to leave on the 5th of May or

possibly the 15th of May or possibly

extended to the end of May we don't know

yet in the meantime we are doing what

dying maintenance cleaning cleaning lots

of maintenance so rather than being able

to show you the videos of the sailing

and the and their travels unfortunately

we can't but we'll keep you up-to-date

on our Facebook page and via YouTube and

we'll try and show you as much of what's

going on here as we can hopefully we can

get back to some sailing videos pretty

soon in the meantime we'll just keep

doing what we're doing and hope you're

enjoying it and learning something from

it and remember if you know how it works

you can always fix it don't forget

subscribe down here yeah hit the bellow

icon and you'll get an update of our

latest videos it's really easy to do and

we have noticed that about 50% of you

aren't subscribed so please subscribe it

really helps us out and helps promote

our videos until then they say say stay

safe and and sail safe look after

yourself guys and girls and we'll see

you very soon
