His advice was not to bother with vented loops for the sink and
watermaker if we'd be there when those valves are open. In some ways
that makes sense (but.. zzzzz), but I was blown away when he said I
didn't need any vented loops at all with any of these pipeworks as
long as I double clipped all joints and put a vent on the lazerette
loop. He's seen the planned set up when he quoted me for the job, but
that seems like a crock of sh*t to me.

I'd welcome your thoughts (although still mean to put vented loops in
as planned). Any thought's on the brine side of the watermaker? I
must admit I can't see any need to vent the loop in the lazerette, but
maybe I'm totally confused over this whole issue.

Thanks

I'd go with his setup myself. I believe you might be overcomplicating
this just a little.
What concerns me is you never mentioned a valve at the end of your
exit hose.If you have one you would need to remember to open it before
use. If you don't have a valve, you might want to think about getting
one.
