One of the few things that didn't work on our last trip out was the hand pump head sink. no idea why not, but it just couldn't get primed and move water. THe Galley sink works gang busters. Is there something that needs to get rebuilt? I removed the handle to see what I could see, but ntothing was obvious. I am also not seeing a similar new hand pump faucet All reccommendations are appreciated.

Water tank is nearly full, but all of the supply lines are new, so I will check the hose clamps and fittings. A little hard to imagine that the pump itself could wear out,this sink is littlr used compared to the galley sink.s

That makes sense to me and I will try to figure out how to apply some suction to the end of the faucet. lots of pumps can't prime themselves. I had though about this, just could' figure out an easy way to provide some suction. might be as simple as getting a lentgh of rubber hose and sucking on it.

I put a check valve in the water line. Sometimes (rarely) still loose prime, seems like when the pump handle is not left back. Suction by mouth works.
