What do you consider "a lot of 'em"?
I think the most we're likely to have is four in a series including the
90 degree turn in the Whale diverter valve. Space is a huge issue for us
and the more compact the plumbing can be the better so elbows are
attractive. My concern is extra work for the pump (the larger Guzzler),
and places for waste to accumulate. When we bought the boat, the head
plumbing was like a medical model of sclerosis and we don't want that to
happen again. We're big fans of rinsing the system as often as possible
(usually with salt water) and the "temporary" fix (three years old now)
seems to be pretty clean. Now that other projects are out of the way,
we'd like to build a more permanent plumbing solution.
Thanks so much for all your help!!
Cindy
