Whale IC Retail Kit 24V Gulper Pump and Strainer

The Whale IC Retail Kit is a 24V Gulper IC pump and IC strainer supplied pre-wired as one assembly.

IC refers to the electronic control circuitry Whale builds into both parts, which lets the strainer sensor signal the pump directly. The strainer detects water and tells the pump to run. So the pump can be mounted somewhere accessible rather than down in the sump with the water it is clearing.

That separation is the practical benefit. A pump in a shower sump or bilge is the hardest thing on the boat to reach when it needs servicing. Moving it to a locker or a bulkhead while the sensing stays where the water is solves that without adding a float switch.

Buying it as a kit reduces four separate components to one pre-wired assembly. That is less to specify, less to wire and fewer connections to make in a damp locker. This is the 24V version, so system voltage needs confirming before ordering. Explore more bilge and water pumps.

• Strainer sensor signals the pump directly
• Pump mounts somewhere accessible, not in the sump
• Four components reduced to one pre-wired assembly
• 24V, so confirm system voltage first
