I put a "T" in below the sink and added a kitchen sprayer.  It works great.  The pressure out of the sprayer is lower but still good enough.  I felt the same way about the water pressure and splashing and intended to add an inline ball valve to allow setting of the desired pressure.  Never did mostly because I use the sprayer I guess.

OK - after a couple of camping trips now, I have decided that I HATE the
sink/faucet in my '89 Syncro Westy.  I'm wondering if anyone has come up
with some good modifications.  Here are the things that are bugging me:

1.  The stream of water is too forceful (and directed).  It splashes
everywhere when using the sink.

2. The faucet valve (round, notched) is impossible to use if you have
soapy/wet hands, since it cannot be gripped.

Has anyone attached some sort of diffuser to make the stream of water easier
to manager?  Also, I think I've seen earlier faucet valves that were
flat-sided and would be easier to use when slippery.  Anyone know if they
are interchangeable?

Thanks
