An adjunct to this is a proper manifold to isolate both "services".

It demands planning and a somewhat crowded sink, but it's all much easier than buying a watermaker.
Marc,
What foot pump did you instal ? We've got the Whale Gusher type but man I am sick of stubbing my toe on the damn things.

Three way system has to be the go. When power and water are easily available why muck around with the manual pumps. Different story when you are away from running water and plenty of juice.
