[C320-list] Head Shower Pump

Look for a less than perfect seal where the filter mounts.  This caused 
me to have similar symptoms two years ago.  A small air leak was letting 
just enough air in on the suction side to prevent the pump from priming. 
  Tightening the filter cover solved the problem.

The antisiphon loop is on the output side, in the medicine cabinet, on 
my boat.  It's right next to the one for the head.  I doubt if this is 
the problem.
