The Whale Gulper 220 12V Waste Water Pump is a reliable, high-capacity waste water pump designed for use in campervans, motorhomes, caravans and marine installations. Ideal for pumping waste water from showers, sinks and galley systems where a conventional gravity drain is not practical.
Featuring Whale’s proven diaphragm pump design, the Gulper 220 can handle shower and sink waste without the need for an inline filter. Its large single diaphragm allows small debris commonly found in grey waste water to pass through the pump, helping to reduce the risk of blockages and simplifying maintenance.
The pump can be mounted in a variety of positions, making it particularly useful where installation space is limited. Its self-priming design also allows the pump to be positioned away from the waste outlet where required.

Wrong item ended up being delivered. Sorted out getting a new one out. The label they sent wouldn’t scan, so had to pay postage that they refunded.
Although can’t really give a higher rating, as if it was right first time I wouldn’t have needed to do all the additional tasks. But the main thing is it was resolved in the end.
