Indeed I could just "tee" the hose and that's a great idea.  However, I'd
prefer the second pump so that I don't have to manually switch anything (the
valve).  Especially since I have to run wire, and water hose anyway.  I
figure why not just add another pump (if I can find one on the cheap) and
then there's no mucking around inside while I'm dripping salt water from my
wetsuit.  Thanx for the idea though!!

Cheers,

Why exactly are you needing a second pump?  If I'm not mistaken, it seems
you could just put a 'tee' on your current pump with a ball valve to turn
off the flow to one or the other lines.  One way for flow to the sink and
one for flow to your shower.  You would have to also install a second
switch spliced into the same wiring that the sink has for the pump.  Maybe
you could get fancy and put a timer switch or maybe a photo eye from radio
shack.

Just a thought.
