I modified the outside "City Water Connection" by removing the check ball. When
I installed the water pump and pressure tank for the drinking water filter, I
added a "Y" valve on the pressure tank. One side of the "Y" was routed through
the filter to the "City" side of the sink tap. The other side of the "Y" was
routed to the outside "City Water Connection". When I want a shower, I connect a
hose to the outside "City Water Connection", switch the "Y" valve to point that
direction and turn on the pump. The Pump is a demand pump meaning that it turns
on when the pressure tank drops below some point (20 psi) and turns off when
above a higher point (35 psi). So when I take a shower, I just use a garden hose
nozzle with a on/off grip. The pump turns on/off accordingly.
Hope this helps,
