Hiho folks - silly question
12v inline water pump for shower drainage
Should I put it low so it has to push the water up and out the side of the boat or put it high so it has to suck the water high and then exits level out the side?
Details for those bored enough to read
I have a combined shower and bilge pump, 2 taps to choose if you want to empty bilge or shower
All was fine until the waste pipe for the shower got clogged, some of its big plastic but at some point hidden under the floorboards it becomes a skinny copper pipe. I bought a long flexible rod but that didnt clear it. I bought a pump up pipe unblocker and manged to get water flowing but very slowly. Couple more squirts I thought, blew the bottom off the shower so it empties straight into the bottom of the boat.
Have decided to put a 12v pump next to the shower and exit out the side of the boat, see you can do this sort of thing with woodentops!
Should I make the pump push the water up 3ft out the side or position it higher
Do they suck or blow?
Many thanks
