I have a galley sink with a pressurized fresh water faucet, and the grey water is plumbed (1/2”) to the closest through hull. I want to add a manual salt water sink pump to save on fresh water when doing dishes (and as a backup in case my water pump goes out). My question is:
Does anyone know if I can I plumb the salt water intake line to the same seacock the galley grey water is plumbed OUT of using a Y-valve or connector? I have a 1979 Mariner and the plumbing is odd--the hoses have to snake and contort around the engine to reach the seacocks (and there has to be a *perfect* downward slope from the sink to the seacock or the water backs up), and this particular through hull would require the least amount of contortions. Any insight would be appreciated!
*I apologize if this question has been asked before. I am on the water right now, and my internet connection is the equivalent of a 300 baud modem on a Commodore 64 which makes searches very difficult and time consuming (it’ll probably take an hour just to post this).
