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.
