Title: aqua 8 pump
Post by: Grafters Cleaning Services on June 23, 2005, 06:11:20 pm

my old whale submersable pump on my trolley system gave up on me today so i went to the local caravan shop and brought a
aqua 8 pump (non submersable)
there seems to be a big difference in the pressure which i'm pleased with, but how long will it last i wonder?
is anybody else using one?

GRAFTERS:I understand the whale pump [submers] can only acheive up to 3 metres vertical [about19 squid]

what height can a aqua 8 acheive vertical? and how much do they cost?

also what diam pipe do you use 10mm is the diam for whale pumps is that adequate?

hi gaza
the whale pump reached to over 18ft although the pressure dropped sometimes

have been using the aqua today and WOW!
what a difference, very good pressure, height for domestics no propbs (any higher not sure) very happy with it
costs £72 from my local c/van shop
