hi
currently we have a large stainless water tank under the V birth in the bow plumbed into the galley sink with an old manual pump on the sink top (like the ones in old caravans).
We want to fit a new faucet that we can just turn on, and an electric pump does the rest.
I saw the Shurflo faucet at the store which activates an inbuilt switch as you turn the tap on, this is then wired to the pump. Does anyone know other (better) ways of setting this up?
