This Whale galley pump is a high flow submersible model that runs on 12V. It is described as simple and compact, and it is rated for a maximum flow of 15.8 liters per minute. Current draw is stated at 3.8 amps. Whale describes it as suited to up to two or three mixer outlets, which sets the size of water system it is meant for.
Our take
A maximum flow of 15.8 liters per minute at 3.8 amps is the pair of figures to size this Whale pump by. It is rated for up to two or three mixer outlets, so it is not described for systems with more outlets than that.
From our buying guide
Size a freshwater pump by the outlets that must run at once. Jabsco's rule of thumb is 1 GPM per outlet, and the listed flow is open flow, which falls as pressure rises.
Check before you buy:
- The data sheet shows flow at pressure. One Shurflo gives 4.0 GPM at 0 psi and 2.0 GPM at 40 psi.
- You have an inlet strainer, which Jabsco says is required in every freshwater pump installation.
- An accumulator suits the pump. Jabsco says one cuts cycling on a pressure-switch system, and not to use its accumulators with variable-speed pumps.
