During spring commissioning, we found the foot pump to the sink in the head is leaking. It does not have a label so I don't know who manufactured the pump. It is white plastic and has very small nuts w/ screwdriver slot heads. Without a picture, any ideas on the manufacturer? Any suggestions on fixing the leak? Thank you.

Whale Gusher Galley Pump MK2

I found a Whale Service kit for a Gusher Galley Pump MK1-2 from the PO and looked at the whale website to identify that I have a Guser Galley Pump MK2. Since neither the website not service kit has a schematic diagram, does anyone have one available to rebuild the leaking foot pump? Thank you.

It's easier to just replace the

whole pump. Just went through that last year.

Pressure?

Rick, Is your pump installed on a pressure water system? If so repalcing the pump won't stop the leak. Whale Gusher Galley foot pumps will not hold pressure. I learned that the hard way.
