I made an attempt to intall one yesterday but ran into a problem finding the right fittings for the water line to filter connections. Catalina uses the SeaTech 15 mm water lines which appear to need Seatech or Whale connectors to attach the filter in line. It would be nice to have drinkable water from the galley faucet.

Bring your filter there & they should be able to match it up. The answer to your querstion, I have not installed a filter in any sinks faucets. ~~~~_/)~~~~ Norm Perron, Hull #600/2 cabin, Aphrodisiac, Marina del Rey, CA

I had a SureFlow filter. To my surprise, putting the filter in-line with the input side of the pump did not work well (very low flow rate). I ended up putting the filter at the rear of the engine compartment on the outflow side of the pump, but only to the cold interior facets. This maintained adequate flow rates. I might look for a larger surface area filter next time.

We especially liked this filter as it not only takes out tank taste but will filter out all chemicals (except floride) and biological agents such as giardia, and other bad bugs. During our years cruising in Mexico we got some pretty doubtful water but never got sick and fellow cruisers without filters loved drinking our "tank water". Sea Gull was worth the price in every regard; fit, ease of install, quality, safety, longevity of filter. Good Luck... James White Star #450 Puerto Vallarta
