following manner:

3. Open the galley sink faucet to provide cold water.
Expect nothing but air for a short while, as the water

from the faucet. Turn the faucet off.
5. Now turn the faucet on and off slowly, with one hand
under the spout. This will keep water from splashing
about while the last bit of air is being removed from
the waterlines.
