Grey water pump Whale Gulper 220 - 12 V

The Gulper 220 pump can be started either by a remote on/off switch or by an automatic float switch. If an automatic switch is used, an isolating switch must also be installed.

Yes, the pump head can be rotated to adapt to different hose connection configurations. To do this, simply loosen the two screws that hold the clamp in place.

Yes, the Gulper 220 pump can be mounted on a vertical surface. In this case, it is imperative to ensure the pump head is positioned downward.

It is recommended to choose a dry location away from water splashes to install the pump. The pump can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface.

For the Whale Gulper 220 - 12 V pump (reference BP1552), a 5 amp automotive fuse is required. This fuse must be installed between the pump's positive terminal and the positive power wire.

The Whale Gulper 220 - 12 V pump, part number BP1552, is specifically designed for managing and evacuating gray water aboard a boat. It is part of the Gulper 220 range.

The Gulper 220 pump is a self-priming pump designed specifically to evacuate wastewater from shower trays or kitchen sinks, either overboard or into a holding tank. It can also be used as a small bilge pump.

Yes, the Whale Gulper 220 pump is a self-priming pump.

Yes, the Gulper 220 pump can be used as a small bilge pump. However, it is important to note that its capacity may not be sufficient to handle a rapid influx of water. It is the user's responsibility to ensure it is suitable for the intended use.

The Gulper 220 pump operates on 12 V DC. Polarity is indicated by colored wires (red for positive, black for negative), and the pump is protected against reverse polarity. The minimum wire cross-section must be 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) to ensure optimal performance and prevent potential motor failure.

A 5 ampere automotive fuse is required for the Gulper 220 pump (12 V DC model). This inline fuse must be installed on the positive side of the pump. Its purpose is to protect the pump from serious damage in case of system blockage.

To install the pump, choose a dry location, protected from splashes. It can be mounted on a horizontal or vertical surface. If mounted vertically, ensure the pump head is in the low position. Once the location is chosen, mark the positions of the four mounting feet, drill four pilot holes of 3.2 mm (1/8"). Then secure the pump using four #8 self-tapping screws and washers.

You must use a smooth-bore reinforced hose with a 19 mm (3/4") inner diameter to connect the pump.

Yes, the pump head can be rotated to match hose connections. To do this, loosen the two screws that secure the clamp rings, then rotate the pump head to the desired angle.

The Gulper 220 pump is activated by a remote on/off switch or an automatic float switch. If an automatic switch is used, an isolation switch must be installed.

If the engine is running but no liquid is being pumped, check the following points:

That the inlet hose connection is watertight, free of blockages, and not sagging. That the shower or sink drain is not clogged. That the pump valves are not jammed and are correctly positioned in the pump head. That the diaphragm is not cracked; replace it if necessary.

If the engine does not start, check the following:

That the isolation switch is activated.That there are 12 volts coming from the battery.The inline fuse and ensure all electrical connections are tight and free of corrosion. If the fuse has blown, check for debris in the pump head, clean it if necessary, then replace the fuse and operate the pump.

To inspect or replace the valves or the diaphragm, first disconnect the electrical power. Then remove the clamping rings from the pump head by unscrewing the two clamping screws. This will release the pump head and provide access to the valves and diaphragm. Check for wear or damage and replace if necessary. When replacing the diaphragm, loosen the central nut, remove the plate and the diaphragm. The diaphragm can be installed with the cup facing up or down. Ensure the outer sealing edge of the diaphragm is properly seated in the grooves between the body and the gear housing so the pump primes correctly.

Yes, a spare parts kit is available under the part number AK1550.
