To Next PageTo Next PageWhat to do if the electric motor of my Whale Gulper Grouper BP4572 Water Pump does not operate?
If the electric motor of your Whale Water Pump doesn't operate, there are several potential causes. First, ensure that the isolator switch is turned on. Second, verify that the battery provides the correct voltage (12 V or 24 V d.c.). Lastly, check the fuse and replace it or reset the circuit breaker if it has blown.
Why does the motor run but the Whale Gulper Grouper BP4572 fails to work?
If the motor of your Whale Water Pump runs but the pump itself fails to work, the issue might be due to a blockage in the system. You should check the hoses, pump head, and valves for any obstructions and clean them if necessary. Another potential cause is inverted tricuspid valves, in which case you should check and replace the valves if needed.
