Shower sump work - Whale Gulley IC Waste Pump Kit - 2011

2011 - Marina Cortez San Diego, CA

Still engendering the shower sump.

 We drilled a hole and opened it up a bit with the jug saw for the sensor in the next bilge compartment.

 There is already a pass through there so we just enlarged it a bit.

(Well I called Whale again about the wires as the instructions we have do not explain them well. The white wire from the pump he said to just ignore as it is for a bilge pump application and they are not color coded well.

The sensor does have to mount vertical not like we have it shown. So more engendering.)
They do have good support.

I think there is led under this fiber glass as I drilled a mounting hole and the drill bit came out with led.

The yellow box (the water sensor) needs to be below the pump. And also below the shower drain.

The strainer needs to be between the sensor and the shower drain.

The pump needs to be higher and could be some other place. The some other place is not that much help because you still need to run a hose to it and have a discharge hose going out. So far the best place is where the original shower sump was. The sensor uses 1” hoses and the pump 3/4 .

We bought a strainer that uses ¾ hoses.

The shower uses a 5/8 hose I think.

It also needs a vent hose to prevent air locks if you are not using two devices like two showers and we are just using one shower. We figure on running a 1” reduced to a ½ hose up to the holding tank vent outlet and installing an outlet for the vent in the hull there.

We went to ME and got a bunch of hoses etc for the installation. We already figured we do not need some and forgot others 😕

As you can see we decided against using the white sanitation hose. It is just too hard to work with. When I called Whale they said this hose was fine. Debbie also picked up another mast step.
