Whale Gusher Foot Operated Galley Pump, Right-Side Foot Lever, 4 GPM, GP0550

The Whale Gusher GP0550 is a foot operated galley pump built for delivering fresh or saltwater to a small galley without tying up your hands. A smooth double-action foot pedal drives the pump, so it stays fully hands-free while you cook, clean, or manage other onboard tasks. This unit is the right-side foot lever configuration; a left-hand foot lever version is available as a separate part number for layouts that call for the pump on the opposite side.

The GP0550 delivers a maximum flow rate of 4 US gallons (15 liters) per minute, with a maximum suction lift of 7 feet and a maximum discharge head of 10 feet. It is self-priming and can be operated dry without damage, and it also works well as a priming pump for Whale inline impeller electric pumps, giving a manual backup if the electric system loses power. Multi-directional inlet and outlet hose connections and three mounting options, including thru-bulkhead, make it straightforward to fit into tight galley spaces. It connects to Whale Quick Connect 15mm plumbing and 13mm (1/2 inch) flexible hose.

Construction consists of a durable Acetal and nylon pump body, an LM6 aluminum alloy lever, a Nitrile and neoprene diaphragm, and stainless steel fasteners, finished in white. It is rated for both fresh and saltwater use, but it is not designed for use with pressurized water systems.
