Grey Waste Tank - Service Kits

The Grey Waste Tank enables the user to manage all grey waste on board easily, through one skin fitting. The Intelligent Control sensor integrated into the tank lid

provides automatic operation of the grey waste pump. The sensor will detect water in the grey waste tank at a pre-determined level, and will automatically activate the

grey waste pump. When the tank is emptied, the switch will automatically turn the grey waste pump off. The 2 sensor models include a second sensor which can be

used to control a second grey waste pump. It is factory set to activate at a higher water level and will provide additional pumping capacity during periods of high inflow to

the grey waste tank. Alternatively, the second sensor can be wired to a high level alarm, warning of a high water level within the grey waste tank.

Read the following carefully before installation.

To the User:

The Grey Waste Tank is designed to collect grey shower waste water. If it is intended for use for any other purpose or with any other liquid, it is the user’s responsibility

Intelligent Control sensor is designed to operate at 12V d.c or 24V d.c. only. The sensor is suitable for use with pumps operating with current up to 20A, and is

recommended for use with Whale Gulper® 220 or Gulper® 320 grey waste pumps (see www.whalepumps.com/marine for information).

• With all applications, it is important that a system of safe working practice is applied to installation, use and maintenance. Ensure the electric supply is turned off and

that the waste water system is drained before installation.

• The Grey Waste Tank is designed for the storage of grey waste water in recreational marine vessels. Your warranty may be invalidated if the product is used
