Washdown the galley

[xeon_tsd]

I was thinking of adding a wash-down pump. We have thick mud here and it's a real PITA. Ever being frugal (cheap bastard) I then started to think what else could the system be good for? The galley sink! Run a 2nd hose off a T to the galley and use a kitchen spray nozzle! The salt water hand pump is broken anyhow.

The pump would be anywhere from 40 - 70 PSI. For the chain I like the more power idea.. for the galley I fear it is a bit much.

Is this idea crazy???? (I know that I am.)

Not at all. My "washdown" pump (40psi) does exactly that. works fine!

We have pressure salt water to the hot side of the galley faucet and for the ground tackle sprayer on the bow of the boat. There is a little more rust on our cheap kitchenware but sometimes clean sea water is a great water source. I bet it saves over a gallon of fresh water per day.
