There have been a few threads about 110v vs 32V pumps, and how they might be tied together. Wellll....I had my camera at the boat this weekend and took a pic of my plumbers nightmare.
I have both varieties, plumbed together with a Y valve so one can die or be removed for surgery without losing the function of the other one.
Both of the intakes have seperate check valves and shutoff valves as well (not shown in pic).
The galley maid pump is in the backround under the accumulator, and hard to see, but it's in there. Both pumps are mounted in vibration isolators, the 110V pump is inaudible unless you're leaning on it, and the whole setup is in the "pump room".
The water pumps must have been shut off when I took the pic, because the 110V pump is set for 45 to 55 psi, and I use the 32V pump for backup only.
Note that everything is bronze or fabric reinforced tygon, no brittle rigid pvc. I also included a pressure bleed with a hose that reaches the center bilge. It make bleeding and so on easier, no running all over the boat or shouting for the Admiral.
The outlet leads to the accumulator, then through coarse, fine, and carbon/UV filters before being tied into the boat's original manifolding.

You should have named that 60 "High & Tight!"
