FW: Kitchen and bathroom sink filter cleaning tips and photos

[callis...@gmail.com]

Splashed Friday and flushing out water tanks after winterization.  Our water here is high in iron, causing a lot of scale.  Wanted to share few photos and tips that may be helpful to others if need to clean sink filters and improve water flow.

 

Unscrew to Expose; pick tool (green handle) worked really well to get things started

Kitchen Sink

Filter #1 at head

Filter #2 at flex fitting

 

Bathroom Sink

Filter #1 at head

 

Pulls out:

Bathroom sink drain, quite complex mechanism after pulled apart to clean

 

Our trick to get the air out of the lines when changing between water tanks, was to let water to run into the bilge first then to turn on the sink/toilet/shower/etc.

 

Happy Spring and Happy Easter!  Thankful for all of you as we share and learn together enjoying our beautiful sailboats on the water!
