Detailed description

Designed for freshwater and seawater circuits on boats, caravans, and motorhomes, the Whale UF0815 universal water pump is a robust and efficient pressure solution. With a flow rate of 8 litres per minute, it ensures a constant and reliable supply for one or two water outlets on board.

Technical specifications

This pump operates at 12 V DC. It delivers a flow rate of 8 litres per minute (2.2 US GPM) with a cut-off pressure of 45 PSI (3 bar). Its maximum power draw is 5 amperes, requiring a 5 A fuse. The UF0815 pump is self-priming up to 3 metres (10 feet) of vertical height and offers a maximum discharge head of 30 metres (98 feet). The inlet/outlet connections are 15 mm Whale Quick Connect ports, and adapters for 13 mm (1/2") BSP hoses and 1/2" male threaded fittings are included. Materials in contact with the fluid include glass-reinforced polypropylene, Monprene®, Nitrile®, and stainless steel. It complies with EMC standards, is CE marked, and certified to ISO 8846 MARINE (ignition protection).

Key features

The Whale UF0815 pump includes several features optimized for marine use. It can run dry without damage, increasing durability. Its operation is quiet and smooth thanks to a 4-diaphragm design that ensures a constant water flow and reduces vibrations. An integrated filter/strainer with a transparent cover makes inspection and cleaning easier, protecting the pump from debris. Compatible with freshwater and seawater systems, it also features ignition protection, with sealed switches and an internal sealed housing for wires and the pressure switch. The swivel mounting feet allow adaptable installation to various configurations.

Expert opinion

« Reliability and versatility for onboard water circuits »

The Whale UF0815 pump is positioned as a versatile solution for freshwater and seawater systems on board. Its ability to run dry without damage is a major asset, providing increased safety in case of unexpected loss of prime, which is common at sea. The integration of a filter with a transparent cover simplifies preventive maintenance and protects the system from debris, a critical point for the longevity of installations. The Whale Quick Connect rapid connection system, combined with swivel mounting feet, greatly facilitates its integration into tight spaces or when replacing an existing pump, minimizing installation time and complexity. This pump is particularly suited to vessels requiring one or two water points, offering reliable supply for a sink or shower.
