Whale Marine Bilge Pumps FAQs

What level will our automatic pumps drain down to?

All of our automated bilge sensors will switch on at an approx. height of 50mm. Installation dependant, submersible (Supersub & Orca) pumps will drain to as little as 9mm, the remote mounted Gulper (Bilge IC) will potentially drain down to 6mm.

Should I fit a neoprene or nitrile diaphragm?

The neoprene kit would be recommended if the diaphragm is exposed to sunlight, higher temps, nitrile usually if it is away from sunlight, any diesel involved etc.

Pump is running slow/labouring/cutting out

In such instances it is very unlikely that there is an issue with the pump or transformer.  Please check for blockages.  Carrying out an external pipework test will confirm if a blockage exists within the pipework. Note: A common cause of this symptom would be a screw cap stuck in the pipework turning on its axis. If there are no blockages, please increase the pump speed settings on the transformer to match the flow of the shower.

What are the typical hose specifications for bilge pumps?

Usually inch or inch and a half flexi hose, secured by jubilee clips.

Why are some pumps yellow and some blue?

A yellow colour denotes a sensor incorporated into the pump to allow for automatic function, blue pumps require additional switches.

What is the main difference between an impeller driven pump and a diaphragm pump?

Diaphragm pumps are self primimng, impeller driven will need to be primed/ submerged.

Is the MKV service kit applicable to Henderson MKIII or MKIV pumps?

The diaphragm from the AK8050 will fit a Mark III & IV, if any of the other valves needed replaced you would have to replace the front body via service kit AS0522.
