Thanks Florian, Yah that's what I was thinking, just a switch for the pump
by the auxillary water tank and a simple lever (non-electrical) shut off on
the handle.  i was hoping there are pumps that can stay running while I
lather up :).  Seems like the handles that have switches are way more
expensive than a $10 dish sprayer and then I have the hose and a wire to
deal with rather than just the hose.  If no one knows a better way, I'll go
with your suggestion.
Thanks
