[Rhodes22-list] Fresh Water Pump

[mtroy at atlanticbb.net]

Hi Hank,
We have both a manual hand pump and a foot pump both 
serving the same faucet on the same water line. The 
electric motor never worked on the old Atwood pump so for 
years we just used the manual hand pump part of it. We 
added a little foot pump early on. We replaced the water 
lines with very flexible clear tubing so we could keep the 
pump in the cabinet under the sink and just flip it out 
when we needed it. The pump is a Baby Whale

We chose it because it didn't need any clearance below. We 
have a little hook on the cabinet wall under the sink and 
it sometimes hangs on that.

When the Atwood hand pump started giving us trouble we 
replaced it with a Fynspray faucet (West Marine model 
410779 if this very long URL doesn't come through)

It's very handy to have both the foot and hand pumps. They 
seem to work ok on the same line though the Baby Whale 
doesn't put out as much water as the Fynspray.

Hey Rhodies,

What do most of you use for a fresh water pump from the 
water tank to the
sink?  Does anyone use a manual pump and if so, what kind?

Thanks,

Hank
