Hi I have searched the forum but can not find anything regarding cleaning the shower waste pump filter.
I assume it has a filter in the pump but how do you get to it as my shower has stopped draining away.

Thanks for any comments.

Try Search->Advanced Search->Topic: Gulper->Any Date->All Forums, and find:


If this looks like your pump, the filter is on the bottom left side. Do NOT drop the filter down in the void, because it may never reappear. Try to read the links, where a Gulper pump is recommended. This type of pump has no filter to clean.

Thanks Capt Cook for the links and info. It appears that my pump is a "gulper" so my problem may be in the pipework. 
cheers

If you read the instructions for a gulper, it could be a small piece of rubbish caught under the valve in the mechanism. The manual shows how to clear this at the base of the pump. It is quite simple if you can get access to release the blue clamp ring & wipe round under the valve seating OK.

thanks Samuel, I took the gulper apart and cleaned the it but after putting the 2mt screw thingy down the discharge pipe I get resistance so I assume its blocked down the discharge pipe. The wonders of owning a yacht.
cheers for your help

Hi All just an update, toilet and shower problems all resolved.
Although there is no filter in the glumper pump there are two one way valves in the head section of the pump and holy belony both had an incredibly tiny piece of calcium in them. Once cleaned no problems

Toilet had to use a heat gun to get the pipe off once off I see the problem was in the tank I was informed there is a pipe in the tank which is slightly less diameter then the white discharge pipe, with alot of poking around got it all cleared.
regards
