People like the shurflo faucet. Friend has one and loves it. I found a t4 ( eurovan ) westy faucet years ago. Has a flex hose on it, I made an adapter to go in hole in sink where old faucet went. It’s nice, can pull faucet out thru window and give myself a bit of a cold shower . Only downside is it can stay in the adapter when lid closed. Has to be pulled out and lay in sink. Alistair Ps couple years ago I replaced the in tank pump for a small extra long pump. Small boat/RV tyoe pump. The Type that senses pressure drop and turns on. I don’t use it in that way, I mean pressure sensing. Just the regular way. It’s much more powerful but it’s more noisy > On Apr 27, 2021, at 11:04 AM, Roy Nicholl <RNicholl@nbnet.nb.ca> wrote: > > Not trying to hijack Eric's thread (I am interested in the answer), but > I just pulled the hyena out of storage and was going though the > pre-sailing checklist when the faucet literally crumbled. I suspect > old-age and UV are at play here :-) > > Since it needs to be replaced, is there a better solution (which might > also address Eric's question)? > > > Eric Caron wrote on 2021.04.27 14:56: >> Hi folks, >> >> I always noticed the sink pump has to work hard when turned on and then after a pause water comes out. >> >> Is there a simple check valve that could be added to the line by the faucet that would keep water in the line for some time so the pump would have a easier time and water would come out sooner? >> >> Anyone done this or know what part would be needed? >> >> Eric Caron
