I was looking through our blog today for a post we’d done about this gadget and I see that I never posted it. Well, sorry. Here it is now.
This just screws on your water faucet, leave the faucet on, and when you push the rod out of the way, water comes out. It’s magic. We save so much fresh water using this. It’s also really convenient. We just leave our water on all the time and in many years of use, we’ve have never had a problem.
Note that there’s a version with a plastic rod and one with a metal rod. We’ve had both. The plastic ones didn’t last more than about a year before they started to leak a little. We’ve had the metal one for about five years now and it’s never leaked a drop. The trade-off is that we’ve broken a wine glass with the metal rod. (Yea, we know better than to have delicate wine glasses aboard, but wine just tastes better from them.)
Here’s a link to a company that makes them. Here’s where I think we got our last one. Some marine stores used to sell them but I see that they are no longer on West Marine’s website.
