Hi everyone.  A little video test on the link above, just click on it and it should take you to a video I constructed a couple years ago and gave to my bff Terry.  If it works well I'll put some more in the drop box. 
We added a water pressure regulator, back flow preventer that allows us to hook the reverse osmosis - desalinated water from the marina directly to the boat through an RV carbon filter so we don't have to keep filling the onboard tanks and running the pumps for water pressure.  I had to cut a 3" hole in the transom of the boat to mount it and I took the shower out of the transom for access.  Upon pressuring up to test the install, I noticed a leak on one of the fittings for the shower and after fixing this I realized this has been leaking all along and now there is no water collecting in the rear quarter and the pressure stays up in the plumbing system as it should have before.  The city water inlet won't do much for us on an anchor but it sure is sweet while in the marina.
Tomorrow the new mixing elbows, zincs, injector return line and the heat exchanger cleaning get started and hopefully completed as the week after next we are HEADING HOME!  Yup, I have to go home to renew a work permit and drivers license and close a land deal so we should be home for a few weeks. Yahoo!
Blogger has a new format and it is seeming to take forever to upload pictures so I will check it out farther tomorrow.
A torrential downpour the other day allowed me to finally find a nagging little leak we've had forever in one of the coach windows, I dare say it was the last one.
Bye for now, will figure out how to add pics over the weekend.
