Sounds more like the throttle cable is slipping. Our throttle cable has a little clamp the restricts movement and holds the cable wherever you set it. It can be located anywhere on the cable, but usually near the pedestal. Chuck S > On September 19, 2019 at 4:38 PM Peter Cowenhoven via

A better solution would be to tee off the head intake to the head sink drain seacock. This way you can have a dedicated seacock for the AC water inlet. And as a bonus, you will be able to close off the head seacock when you leave, run fresh water in the sink, and flush the fresh water

"Long run" depends on where you put the unit and more importantly where you put the water pump. Mine being under the stairs means that the head only adds about 5 feet - I guess - of hose. Of course there is room under the sink to put the pump in the head too. Truth be told, I didn't run my
