Whale GP1652 Submersible Freshwater Pump, High Flow 12V DC

Product Information

Of course, you can always use a Whale pump if you prefer, and the procedure for replacement will remain exactly the same. Tools you will need for repairing a Whale Watermaster pump: I’ve a 2020 year Coachman VIP Caravan fitted with the Whale submersible high flow pump (in bowser Type) and the IC controller within the van. On this you have my sympathy. When new with guarantee niggles it cost me much money and time in what seemed like continually returning my van. With the odd thing I got telephone help from a technician which was fine. For other things it was a frustrating experience.

Any of these failures can occur in normal circumstances and usually, they will do so at the most inconvenient times. Using wirecutters, remove the two spade connectors. Using wirecutters, remove the two spade connectors I don’t know what some of the parts cost to Whale but as an ex electronics iengineer I guess the IC a few pounds and a seals, non return valve kit etc similar money. It could be the pump but at this stage I am unwilling to spend on a new one to test. Problems from the outset, the IC hadn’t been calibrated by the dealer or whoever so having been either near scalded or frozen in the shower I found the issue and re calibrated the pump/IC. One of the things that upset me most, was that there seemed to be zero realisation that, by not proBut viding a comprehensive service it absorbed my time, reduced my usage and enjoyment and was a cost. It was also inefficient for them and did not engender customer loyalty.The Comet pump, made in Germany, is a quality product with a superior specification to the Whale pump being replaced (20 litres/min as opposed to the Whale’s 16 litres/min flow capacity). It also has a 1.1 bar pressure rating. Regarding the quote at the beginning of this, as you rightly point out the warranty and associated problems are the responsibility of the supplying dealer and it is to them that you should have taken this up with. This is probably the most common cause of water pump demise. You will find that some submersible pumps have ‘Do not run dry’ printed on them by way of a warning.

It is very bad form to criticize a company on a forum when the company does not have the opportunity to respond in a timely manner, and only one side of the communication is available.

Normally this reference would be deleted, but in this case it has not, however, it is very unusual that you have found their advice not to your satisfaction as they have an excellent record of being very helpful and go out of their way to be as supportive as they can be.Spade connectors in position after crimping.

They are designed so that the surrounding water is kept from the internal electrical components of the motor with watertight seals. However, the impeller shaft emerging via a seal, usually an ‘O’ ring, from the motor housing, can be prone to failure over time, resulting in the motor flooding and no longer functioning. I explained that normally on opening a tap the water flow would be good for a few seconds then slow then speed up again. To me this suggested the IC was controlling the voltage to the pump which was part of its surge prevention facility. The reply I received was no it doesn’t do that it’s your non return valve.
