Default Tecma Easyfit head


Hi - a question for Peggy (or anyone else who's ever done something
like the following)

I'm looking seriously at replacing my old electric Lavac with the new
Tecma Easyfit. The specs (and measurements) look great. Does this seem
reasonable?

The "solenoid" version of the Tecma assumes that you would be using
fresh water flush. What I'd really like to do is plumb it for either
fresh or salt water flush. That way I could use salt at sea when fresh
water is scarce.

I currently have pressure systems for both water types. Is there any
reason I couldn't put a y-valve in the head intake line? The only thing
I can think of is a risk of salt water backflow into the fresh water
tank if the y-valve failed or leaked. Is this something to worry about?
I assume the head doesn't care as long as it gets pressure water.

Thanks

Carl
