PowerFill Snorkel
PowerFill Snorkel is a system which allows partial or complete
bucket fills from a range of previously inaccessible water sources as
shallow as 18” (0.46 m) including streams, ponds and low profile
dip tanks. It is available for bucket model 1821.
The PowerFill Snorkel is an externally mounted pump consisting of
a flange assembly and a pump assembly. The flange assembly is
permanently installed into the bucket and includes a flapper check
valve to prevent water from flowing back through the pump when
the pump is not running. Multiple flanges can be installed on a
number of buckets to accept the same pump unit.
The pump assembly is connected to the flange assembly with a
camlock fitting which allows the pump to be quickly removed for
ease of transport.
The PowerFill snorkel has an electrically driven pump with an optimum output of 425 USG/min (27 L/s).
The pumps require a 28 VDC power source capable of supplying 45 A. This supply must be from the
aircraft non-essential bus. The installation shall be done in accordance with FAA Advisory Circulars
AC43.13-1B and AC43.13-2A and any applicable aircraft manufacturer's instructions.
WARNING
Do not connect the PowerFill Snorkel system to any aircraft bus bar that is used for emergency or
essential loads. Before installation, do an electrical load analysis to ensure that the generator capacity
is adequate to operate the system and amend the aircraft electrical load to the new requirements.
Power is transmitted through a waterproof cable to the pump motor. At the top end of the cable, a quick
disconnect plug will separate with minimal force in the event of a load jettison. See the following chart
for recommended longline wire sizes for the PowerFill Snorkel.

The pump motor, impeller and housings are contained within a circular steel filter basket. The filter
basket serves to protect the components from impact damage while also acting as a debris screen.
The pump is fully waterproof in operation to a depth of 10 ft (3.0 m) and can run “dry” without damage.
It has a standard hydraulic grease nipple provision to extend the life of the motor output shaft seal.
