Submersible water pumps

Very useful post

Useful post Oneputt,  like the look of the Whale pump.

I watch all of Dan's vlogs as some very good tips from an honest bloke.

Received the pump this morning, great service from the caravan store

Interesting, although I replace the clear tubing each year it is the Truma trigger part that is fragile. I have just replaced that part due to the retaining clip breaking, next time I will look at the Whale alternative.

Brilliant. All the same problems that Dan has. Time to get the wallet out.

Now used my new Whale pump and it’s excellent, 100% better that Truma

Likewise, now used the Whale pump. Far better connection into side of caravan and better pumping. Top marks.

Thanks for this tip! Was in a mess over the weekend because the Truma pump jammed (last thing at night), blew the fuse which also took out the toilet flush. Luckily a friend had spare fuses so was able to get the toilet working the next day. Now ordered the whale pump assembly (and put complete set of spare fuses in to the van!).

Does anyone know of a source for a reasonably priced pump only that could be used to repair the original Truma? As we are often off grid with no facilities having a spare would be good!
