Whale Gulper IC installed

[wpc691]

Thanks Mike! Okay, now it makes perfect sense. I have a Whale Gulper pump that i had intended to use as an extra bilge pump, but I think I may re-purpose it for the forward sump and an AC condensate, looks like a great set up! Jerry

That may take some doing. The Whale IC is designed to be kind of a proprietary system with the switching circuitry built into the pump (I think) instead of the switch. The Johnson Ultima switch has the switching circuitry in the “box” with the sensor, so it can be used with any pump. You could certainly use the Johnson switch and make your own manifold out of PVC pipe to use with a regular Whale pump. NOTE: I have exactly one installation of a Whale IC under my belt, so verify my statements with your own research.

I was thinking I would order their proprietary IC Manifold separately and combine with my existing WG pump, but I'd better verify that there is not a compatibility issue. A quick search indicates that I may have to get the IC manifold from the UK or Australia, but it is possible.
