Well... I gave that some thought and discussion with the yard. What I decided is that I want a dedicated, single-system, for the pump. I didn't want to deprive another system of water during it's use, nor do I want a failure of THIS system to bring down another. And besides, another thru-hull doesn't dramatically increase the chance of failure. Another thru-hull is just another thru-hull. I have about 15 others and I don't worry any more about them than I would by adding another.
In addition, I am not a fan of adding more hose clamps to an already existing system. Adding a tee would add up to six more. That sounds like a much larger chance of failure than an unlikely thru-hull failure.
