Frequently Asked Questions
What is the warranty coverage for Whale pump products?
Whale pump kits typically include a five-year manufacturer's warranty that covers manufacturing defects. Note that specific electric models, such as the Orca or Supersub series, may carry different coverage periods ranging from one to three years depending on the application.
Are collet clips required for Whale Quick Connect fittings?
No, collet clips are not required with the Whale Quick Connect system. The innovative "cage collet" and "double gripper" design provide secure tube retention and a high-integrity seal without the need for additional clips, which helps simplify installation and reduce overall costs.
Can Whale electric bilge pumps be used for fuel or oil transfer?
No, Whale electric bilge pumps are designed strictly for pumping standing fresh or grey water. They should never be used to remove gasoline, oil, or any other flammable liquids.
How can I prevent airlocks in my Whale bilge pump installation?
To prevent airlocks, the discharge hose must rise continually upward from the pump to the thru-hull connector with no dips or sharp bends. It is also recommended to secure the hose with support clips at regular intervals to maintain a consistent path for water flow.
What maintenance is required for manual Gusher pumps?
Regular inspection of the valves and diaphragms is essential. When rebuilding a Gusher pump, ensure the small valve spring is correctly installed; without this critical part, the rubber flap won't close airtight, and the pump will fail to create the necessary suction to lift water.
