Here is a link to the faucet I use. It costs about $40 if you shop
carefully.

The hole in the metal Westy sink top is much larger than the Shurflo
faucet stem so an adapter plate is needed. The plate needs to cover the
larger existing hole and provide the much smaller hole used by the
Shurflo. I make my own out of a piece of plastic cutting board. The
small faucet  hole in the adapter should be offset from the center,
towards the sink bowl, to allow the faucet head to pivot all the way
down into the sink and close to the sink wall. I use the 3 existing
screw holes to attach the plate to the sink.

The city water door assembly comes right off from the outside, 4 screws
and a hose. You can add the fan without pulling the fridge. If you keep
the Westy faucet installed you will need to plug the fitting on it for
the city water line or water will leak out there when you use the faucet
with your tank water.
