Mr Plodd Posted April 6, 2018 Share Posted April 6, 2018 If like me you are in the process of checking your caravan over for the upcoming season and find that your Whale submersible pump is dead the below link might be of interest to you. Its for JUST the pump and costs £24. 99 not the hoses or the plug that fits into the socket on the side of the van (which dont need replacing, that kit is £40) My pump worked for about 3 minutes, three quarters primed the system and then just stopped, healthy 12V supply to the external socket but pump has just. .. Ceased to be, It has shuffled off its mortal coil, It is no more, It is an ex pump, ITS DEAD MATE !!!" https://www. amazon. co. uk/Whale-Standard-Submersible-Electric-Pump/dp/B0014VR37M/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1523020223&sr=8-2&keywords=Whale+GP1352 Andy Quote Experience is something you acquire after you have an urgent need for it.

Dont know yet as it has yet to arrive, however when you dismantle the “top end” the cable that comes up from the pump (inside the plastic hose) has a couple of push fit terminals that fit onto terminals inside the socket, they then connect to the two large brass terminals on the outside. Once Mr Amazon has delivered it later today I will update the post. Andy Quote Experience is something you acquire after you have an urgent need for it.

Wunny Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 It'll be corroded connections inside the plug. Dismantle, clean, apply petroleum jelly, reassemble. Been there, done it, fixed it! Quote Bailey Orion News & Information - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
