How long will my inboard whale pump fitted to my Bailey Series 6 Senator wyoming last? We tour for about 20 weeks a year plus lots of weekends.

My Bailey Pageant had the submersible pump which went directly into the aquaroll.

I always carried a spare which was just as well as I had two failures over three years. What do I do if my inboard one breaks??

Cheers

Alan

We've been living in our Senator Indiana since September 06 whilst building our house. Nothing - including the Whale pump - has gone wrong.

I'm afraid i cannnot possibly answer that question as i cannot predict any pump failures as i am sure you are aware. They are covered under warranty for two years. If you do have a problem contact us as MartinMcc@whalepumps.com

Thanks

Just been away, terrible time, one thing after another. Final straw, Whale pump started blowing the 10 amp fuse (pump fuse) after only a few seconds pumping. Got through 5 fuses in as many minutes, then gave up. Took the pump to Highbridge caravans, tested it across a battery (no fuse) said it was fine and to check wiring in van. Did so, all fine. Tried a 15amp fuse (silly I know) and pump now dead (unsuprisingly) Does anyone know what cause could be. Was it a faulty pump after all perhaps shorting out, cos it wouldnt blow a fuse across a battery would it? Came home early, couldnt ace a week without running water. Please help

hey, sorry to hear your having problems, i am happy to help you on this one.

1. What is the model of the pump?

2. The pump only has a one year warranty,

3. A few tips:-

Try testing the circuit in the socket for continuity, it should be showing 12v approx.

It sounds like there has been a short somewhere along the way be it in the pump or in the wiring of the van.

4. The recommended fuses for the likes of the submersibles is 5amps but i would need you to confirm model.

5. Maybe try another pump and see if its working ok.

Hope this helps

Martin
