Now that the Topsider hand pump is no longer available what are people using as a replacement. With only 5" vertical clearance the options seem limited. I would like to stay with a manual faucet pump.
Thanks!!!

Re: Topsider handpump replacement
The best hand pump may well be a foot pump. I have a foot pump for salt water and it seems like it would save a bunch of fresh water by not having to work with one hand whenever you use the faucet, Steve.

I have a foot pump in both galley and head and agree with Steve, it frees up both hands and minimize the amount of water used.

Unless you have three hands, go with the foot pump.

Re: Topsider handpump replacement
I ordered one of these to replace my sink pump when it went -https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F ... UTF8&psc=1
It fit into the space the old pump occupied. one year later it's still working as needed!
