Re: Whale Gulper IC installed
I installed a Gulper last month to replace a Jabsco belt-drive diaphragm pump that kept losing suction. So far, I'm very impressed with the Gulper's performance. The only thing I'm not keen on is that while the pump itself is quiet, it makes a heck of a racket at the shower drain.

Re: Whale Gulper IC installed
So the idea here is that you have no sump/reservoir box at all, the pump handles the grey water flow real time?
Thanks,

Re: Whale Gulper IC installed
This sounds like a great solution for several issues I have. One is that the Rule switches keep failing in the sump tank. The other issue is a couple of AC condensation drain lines that tend to back up (and they drain into the bilges). I have to pro-actively wet-vac out every few weeks or they back up and leak in other areas. I'm wondering if the Whale Gulper pump would provide a similar effect as the wet-vac on the AC drain line? Also, if there is no sump tank, how does the pump know when to engage?
Thanks!

Re: Whale Gulper IC installed
Hi Jerry; if you look at the photo I posted, you’ll see the black wire running from the back of the manifold. This connects a solid state sensor in the manifold (Whale’s version of the Johnson Ultima switch) to the pump. When water reaches the level of the sensor, it turns the pump on. When the water drops, there’s a 15 second delay, then the pump shuts off. There is an additional lead from the pump that allows connection for switched manual override. Since there are two lines draining into the manifold, the pump might pull a vacuum on a plugged condensate line when the shower is running, but hard to say if it would be strong enough to clear a plug. I’ve tried a lot of different potions in my condensate lines. At the moment, the blue Home Depot pan tabs and a white vinegar flush every couple of months seems to be working well. I still use the wet vac once or twice a year.
