Post by: Fez on June 22, 2016, 06:06:02 PM

Hi guys, i have an MDC CT and have a factory hand water pump for the kitchen sink.. Im wanting to convert to electric pump!! Anyone have ideas on how to do it myself, reccomendations on pump, faucets, where to mount pump etc etc.. Photos and diagrams would be a great help..
Thanks in advance :-)

 these are ok but as some people say make sure you put a switch in the circuit so you can turn it off when youre travelling - haven't had the experience of it starting up for no reason yet (and mind you its the pump that makes that decision) but not sure I want to see the result either!

we used s shurflo automatic pump but I don't see the one we bought any more  - this is the closest:
