Detailed description

The Whale Watermaster FW0814 pressure water pump is designed to supply freshwater and seawater circuits on recreational vessels and leisure vehicles. This 12 V DC model delivers a flow rate of 8 litres per minute (2.0 US gals) with a cut-off pressure of 2 bar (30 psi).

Robust Design and Integrated Features

The Watermaster FW0814 features a fully protected motor with IP67 rating, while the integrated electronics have IP65 protection, ensuring increased resistance to water and dust. Materials in contact with the fluid, such as glass-reinforced polypropylene, PBT (Polybutylene Terephthalate), Monprene®, Nitrile®, and stainless steel, ensure durability in a marine environment.

This pump is self-priming up to 3 metres (9 feet) and can run dry without damage. Its operation is automated via an internal pressure switch. Designed for flexible installation, it is compatible with Whale Quick Connect fittings of 15 mm (marine models) or 12 mm (RV/caravan models), as well as 1/2" NPT threaded connectors.

Performance and Installation

With a current draw of 4 amps and a recommended fuse of 5 amps (automotive), the FW0814 pump is optimized for controlled power consumption. It supports a maximum delivery head of 20 metres (66 feet) and is designed to minimize pulsations and cycling, providing a steady water flow. Rubber mounting feet absorb vibrations for quiet operation. Its dimensions are 209 x 179 x 125 mm and its weight is approximately 1.5 kg.

The pump meets ISO8846 and ISO10133 standards, attesting to its compliance with safety requirements. A strainer filter is included to protect the pump from debris. It is manufactured in the United Kingdom.

Expert opinion

« Technical analysis: Whale Watermaster FW0814 pump »

The Whale Watermaster FW0814 pump is a reliable solution for fresh or saltwater systems aboard pleasure craft and recreational vehicles. Its design features a sealed motor with IP65 rating for the entire unit, ensuring protection against demanding marine environments. This robustness is essential for extended longevity and reduced maintenance.

With a flow rate of 8 litres per minute and a pressure of 2 bar, this model is particularly suited for supplying 1 to 2 water points simultaneously, such as a sink and a shower. Self-priming up to 3 metres significantly simplifies commissioning and system restart after draining. It is crucial to install the provided strainer upstream of the pump to prevent debris ingress, a common cause of premature failure.

Installation is simplified by compatibility with the Whale Quick Connect system and 1/2" NPT threaded fittings. It is recommended to mount the pump on a stable surface to optimize vibration damping and durability. It is important to note that this pump is not designed for continuous use but rather for intermittent operation, making it suitable for typical onboard applications.
