Edd,

 

First, I’m curious why you have to replace your tubing and how much of a pain 
in the neck it replacement will be.  It seems that access, especially to the 
shower, will be challenging.  Good luck.

 

I did some work on my freshwater system and re-used most of the existing 
tubing.  McMaster-Carr had a good selection of fittings.  I used polypropylene 
fittings and hose rated for drinking water.  The only thing I couldn’t find was 
a good manifold to split out the various lines going to the head, galley sink 
and forward cabin.  As such, there are a whole bunch of tees located near the 
pump (under the starboard settee).  I replaced the drinking water filter at the 
galley sink with a standard 10” NSF rated filter that removes all sorts of bad 
stuff.  The filters and cartridge housing are available on-line.  

 

If I had to do things over and could come up with a good manifold, I’d run a 
single discharge line from the pump to under the galley sink and put the filter 
between the pump and accumulator.  This would filter all the boat’s water.  I 
also made up a rig with a filter and housing that I use when filling the boat’s 
tanks.

 

Regards,

Ron
