Description
Whale Grey IC Waste Pump 24V | Boat Supply Store
This 24V DC grey water system effectively manages waste from multiple drains, eliminating the need for a separate holding tank. Its innovative 'through-wall' sensing technology ensures the Intelligent Control (IC) system activates the high-capacity Gulper IC pump only when waste is present, operating quietly and efficiently. The fully potted circuitry and elimination of direct water contact with internal components provide a completely service-free experience, ideal for managing sink and shower waste on vessels operating in demanding marine environments.
Key Features
- Intelligent Control system activates pump only when waste is detected.
- Through-wall sensing eliminates direct water contact with internal components.
- Quiet drainage operation for enhanced onboard comfort.
- Eliminates the need for a bulky grey waste tank.
- Service-free design with no moving parts in the sensor to clog or fail.
- Fully potted circuitry offers superior protection against water ingress.
- Handles waste from multiple drains via the Two Way Manifold IC.
- High capacity Gulper IC pump ensures efficient waste removal.

Common Concerns Answered
Is the initial setup complex?
While multi-drain configurations may require careful planning to route lines to the Two Way Manifold IC, the system is pre-wired. Understanding marine plumbing and electrical connections is key, rated at a 3/5 installation difficulty.
Is this pump more expensive than basic models?
The Whale Grey IC Waste Pump represents an advanced, service-free solution with unique through-wall sensing technology, justifying its higher initial investment compared to simpler, less automated pumps.
What makes this pump stand out from competitors?
Its patented 'through-wall' sensing and Intelligent Control system offer unparalleled quiet operation and a truly service-free experience by avoiding direct water contact, unlike float switches or macerator systems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Whale Grey IC Waste Pump sense waste levels?
The pump utilizes unique 'through-wall' sensing technology, meaning it detects the presence of waste through the hull wall of the system's tank, not by direct contact with the water itself.
What is the benefit of the Intelligent Control system?
The Intelligent Control (IC) system ensures the pump only activates when waste is present, which results in significantly quieter operation, optimized energy efficiency, and prevents unnecessary running cycles.
Can this pump handle waste from multiple drains?
Yes, this system is designed to manage waste from multiple drains when integrated with the optional Two Way Manifold IC, consolidating waste streams efficiently.
Is the Whale Grey IC Waste Pump suitable for continuous operation?
While designed for high-capacity waste removal, it is intended for intermittent operation as needed to manage grey water discharge, not continuous duty like some bilge pumps.
What maintenance is required for this pump?
The Whale Grey IC Waste Pump features a service-free design due to its through-wall sensing and fully potted circuitry, eliminating internal components prone to clogging or wear that require regular maintenance.
