WHALE GULPER 220 / 12 V Manual

Gulper 220

Shower/Galley Waste and Bilge Pump

Ensure all relevant personnel read the points listed
below and that a copy is passed on to the end user.

Read the points listed below before installation and
use of equipment.

The Gulper 220 self-priming pump has been specifi­cally designed to pump waste water from the shower
tray/galley sink, (either overboard or into a holding
tank) or as a small bilge pump. Output capacity
depends on installation and operating conditions.

Note: When used as a bilge pump users should be
aware that capacity may not be sufficient to cope
with rapid influx of water. If it is intended for use for
any other purpose or with any other liquid, it is the
user’s responsibility to ensure that the pump is suit­able for the intended use and, in particular, that the
materials are fully compatible with the liquids to be
used. With all applications it is important that a
system of safe working practice is applied to
installation, use and maintenance.

Choose a position to mount the pump that is dry and
away from casual water. The pump may be mounted
on a horizontal or vertical surface. When mounted
vertically ensure that the pump head is lower most
(see diagram below).

When mounting, position the pump on the intended
surface and work-out the best angles for the hose,
then mark the 4 hole positions using the pump feet.
The pump head may be rotated to suit the hose
connections, this is done by loosening the two
screws that hold the clamping rings, and rotating the
pump head. Once you have marked the position for
the four mounting feet, drill four pilot holes of 3.2mm
(

1

/8"). Use the four No.8 self tappers and washers to

secure the pump. Use 19mm (

3

/4") or 25mm (1")

smooth bore reinforced hose to connect to the pump.

The polarity is indicated by coloured cable (Positive ­red, Negative - black). The pump is protected against
reverse polarity connection. Minimum wire size is

1.5mm2(16 AWG). (Note: undersized wire reduces
voltage under load at the pump, thus giving poor
performance and potential motor failure). The in-line
fuse assembly supplied (see details below) must be
fitted to the positive side of the pump.

In-Line Fuse Assembly

Purpose

The purpose of this fuse is to protect the pump from
serious damage in the event of system blockages,
therefore please ensure all valves are fully open
before operating the pump.

Connection Instructions

Insert this fuse assembly between the positive
terminal on the pump and the positive feed wire.

Note:

1. If the fuse blows check:
a) all system valves/stop cocks are open.
b) the inlet and outlet nipples are not blocked
c) the remainder of the system is not blocked in any
way.

2. Fuse rating for BP1552 (12V d.c.) pumps 5 amp
automotive. Fuse rating for BP2554 (24V d.c.)
pumps 2.5 amp automotive.

To control the pump an in-line switch should be fitted
between the positive live terminal on the battery and
the positive lead on the pump. If using an automatic
switch (such as a float switch) an isolator switch
should be fitted.

The Gulper 220 is switched on by either a remote
on/off switch or an automatic float switch. When used
to drain a shower or galley, the flow rate should be
sufficient to take away the waste faster than the
delivery from either the shower or galley tap.

To inspect or replace either the valves or the
diaphragm, disconnect electrical supply the user
must firstly remove the pump head clamping rings,

Maintenance

this is done by unscrewing the 2 clamping screws.

This will release the pump head, and allow easy
access to the valves & diaphragm. The diaphragm
and valves should be checked for any excessive
wear, damage or cracks, and should be replaced if
necessary. If the diaphragm needs to be replaced,
undo the nut in the centre of the diaphragm and
remove the diaphragm plate & diaphragm.
Note: The centre pin may be in one of several
positions, this will not affect replacement of the
diaphragm). When replacing the diaphragm this can
be fitted either cup up or down. Replace clamping
plate making sure the rounded edge faces the
diaphragm, also ensure that the outer sealing edge
of the diaphragm is located securely in the grooves
between the body & gear housing (failure to do this
will cause the pump NOT to prime). Refit clamping
rings and tighten screws.

The electric motor runs but no water is pumped?
Check:
a) that inlet hose connection is airtight, free from
blockages, and does not collapse.
b) that the shower/sink drain is not clogged.
c) that the valves in the pump are not blocked & are
seating properly in the pump head.
d) that the diaphragm has not split - replace if
damaged.

The motor will not operate?
Check:
a) the isolator switch is on.
b) there is 12 volts from the battery.
c) the in-line fuse & ensure all electrical connections
are tight and free from corrosion. (If fuse has blown
check for debris in pump head and clean out if
necessary. Replace fuse and run pump - see
previous page).
