I want to add a deck shower so I'll be able to rinse off on the swim platform (cold water only). My idea is to install a tee in the water line that currently feeds the main water pump (for the kitchen and bathroom) and run another line with it's own pump for the deck shower (my water tank is located aft, below the cockpit).
So my question is this, will it create a problem to have two pumps hooked on the same line from the water tank? Would check valves be needed before each pump?
My other solution is to tap into the actual lines (and therefore use the main pump) and run a new line all the way aft for the deck shower (about 20 feet). But I'm thinking it's a bit far and the pressure might not be so good.
What do you think?
