Reply: I've been doing that for over 40 years. With the exception of the head faucet/shower. I get RV stuff for that. I have Home Depot single faucets for salt water in both the galley and head. I've used those on another boat for about 5 years with no problem from the salt. As an aside, I've always used home type accumulators for both fresh and raw water (to feed a watermaker) with no problems. 'Valkyrie' had a 3 year old MARINE accumulator that the diaphragm failed on. When I replaced it with one from Lowe's I found the source of the occasional rust in our fresh water - the water that came out was black with rust!
