Water System...Admiral doesn't like pumping water

[RajunCajun]

The admiral doesn't like pumping water anymore.

Any recommendations on electric water pumps for the sinks in the galley and head? I will have to replace the faucets as well so recommendations on those are also appreciated.

It's a Hunter 260 so there is just one tank, and it feeds both of the sinks.

Something like this: https://shop.sailboatowners.com/prod.php?3635/Aqua+Jet+2.9+GPM+Water+Pressure+Pumps
at around 2.5-3 gallons per minute.. Make up the piping using Pex pipe and fittings.. faucets will have to be improvised and probably will need modifications to the existing holes.. stuff like this:

Our boat uses this pump: https://www.defender.com/product3.j...l-bypass&path=-1|51|2234226|2234231&id=151034. Very pleased with its performance. You can also find most all your plumbing needs at that site or this site. Our 1991 boat was built with Zern Pex brand water system gear. You can still get it but hard to find. Has held up quite well over the years. Several brands to choose from.

Unsure what kind of faucets you have now, but our boat was built with standard residential faucets, which should fit whatever plumbing you select. Your existing plumbing might even work with what you have in mind without having to purchase new faucets and hoses.

Does the admiral want hot water? If so, a hot water heater needs to be considered.
