I also plan to plumb my sink drain to my head feed
In Response To: What I suggest is... ()
Mostly I will use the intake for the head to drain the sink, my strainer will be between the sink drain tee and the head so hair etc won't back up to the head. If I close the thru-hull and fill the sink voila fresh water to the head.
