The Whale GP1002 is the maker's standard submersible electric galley pump, built for 12V supply. It is described simply as Whale's standard 12V submersible electric pump. The part number is GP1002. Flow, pressure and current draw are not stated, so compare those with your galley plumbing and battery supply before you fit it, and confirm the hose connections on the pump you are replacing.
Our take
A 12V rating means the GP1002 is for a boat's battery system, so confirm your galley circuit is 12V first. It is a submersible electric pump, so check flow and current draw with the maker before wiring it in.
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.
