> I finally figured out the problem with my sink/pump/faucet.

Mine cracked too.  I have never liked the short sink faucet and I have
long wanted a longer hose in the sink part, so I made a modification.  I
removed the faucet and just ran a hose up through the faucet
opening.  I added 2 smaller diameter hoses and a "horn button" on the
floor so that now I can use both hands in the sink and use my foot on
the floor switch to activate the water pump.  I now have a very good
set up, even my wife likes it better!  Cost:  about CDN $7.50.   I'll soon
take some digi-pics soon and post the URL.  Malcolm
