The Shurflo is a big step up. The adjustable flow and a more positive and reliable switch are nice features. One thing I do is drill the center hole in the adapter plate slightly offset so the faucet mounts as close to the sink bowl as possible. This allows the faucet to be swung done into the bowl and flat against the inside. We carry a metal tea kettle inside the sink while traveling, as well as a couple of REI mugs. With the faucet stored pointing straight down this stuff fits nicely. Mark Tom Salicos wrote: > I installed my new faucet in the van today.
