Product overview and key features

The Whale freshwater pump 12L/min 12V is an efficient and reliable electric submersible pump, specially designed for transferring freshwater in water systems of boats, motorhomes and cottages. This pump provides a smooth and continuous water flow of up to 12 liters per minute, making it an excellent choice for modern and user-friendly water supply needs. The model GP1352 is known for its performance and durability, making it a worry-free solution for long-term use.

The pump is equipped with a self-priming mechanism, which ensures a smooth water flow even when there is insufficient pressure. The compact design (diameter only 36 mm and length 118 mm) allows the pump to be easily placed in various environments in a space-saving manner. This makes the pump particularly suitable for applications where space is limited, but efficiency is not to be compromised.

The high performance of the Whale freshwater pump is based on modern design and first-class materials. Users can rely on the pump's longevity and functionality, ensuring trouble-free operation of water-demanding systems.

Materials: durable nylon, rubber and stainless steel

Whale freshwater pump 12L/min 12V is made of high-quality materials, which ensure the pump's longevity and reliability. The pump's outer casing is made of durable nylon, which can withstand heavy use and exposure to varying conditions. Nylon is lightweight but particularly tough, making the pump robust and protected against external damage.

The pump's seals and fittings are made of high-quality rubber, which prevents leaks and ensures tight water circulation in the system. The durability of the rubber parts ensures that the pump will operate efficiently even in long-term use without maintenance requirements. This is an important feature, especially in demanding conditions where pump reliability is critical.

Stainless steel components, such as the shaft and mounting parts, ensure the pump is corrosion-resistant, especially in humid environments. Stainless steel increases the pump's lifespan and ensures its operation even in challenging conditions, such as on boats or in outdoor systems.

Installation instructions: placing the submersible pump in a water tank

Installing the Whale freshwater pump is a user-friendly and straightforward process that is suitable for both experienced installers and beginners. The submersible pump is designed to be placed directly in the water tank, making the system efficient and space-saving. You only need a few basic tools for installation.

Start by making sure that the water tank is empty and clean before placing the pump. Then place the pump inside the tank, making sure that it is in a straight and secure position. Connect the pump inlet to a suitable hose (Ø 10–13 mm) that will carry the water from the tank to the outside. Ensure that the hose is firmly attached to prevent leaks.

The pump is electrically connected by connecting its 12V power cord to the correct power source. Remember to check the polarity during installation. Complete the installation by attaching the hose to the water supply point and making sure that all connections are tight. Test the system before regular use of the pump to ensure its functionality.
