OPERATION
The Jabsco Shower Sump Pump consists of an automatic
float switch and powerful submersible evacuation pump
fixed inside a compact reservoir with integral, easy to
clean strainer that protects the system from debris. The
switch automatically activates the pump when water
drains in from a shower and keeps it running until the
reservoir is evacuated. The high capacity of the pump
makes the system capable of handling up to three
showers simultaneously.
MAINTENANCE
The Shower Sump Pump needs no regular maintenance
other than an occasional inspection and, if required, the
removal of excessive debris that may have accumulated
in the reservoir’s intake strainer. Visual inspection is
easy through the reservoir’s clear top cover. If excessive
amounts of debris are trapped inside the intake strainer
simply remove the four screws securing the top cover
and lift off the top. Grasp the round strainer in the middle
and compress the strainer then slide it to the center of
the reservoir (toward the pump and switch) and out of
the strainer locators on each end. Remove the debris
and rinse out the strainer. Replace the strainer in the
reservoir and reattach the reservoir’s top cover.

INSTALLATION & PLUMBING
Select a location for the Shower Sump Pump that is
lower than the drain connection at the shower pan and is
easily accessible for periodic inspections of the inlet
strainer. It is best to have a minimum drop of 1" for each
6 feet (2-1/2cm per 1M) of run of the drain hose from the
shower. The drain hose should drop continuously from
the shower pan to the Shower Sump Pump with no dips
in the plumbing that would trap water. Before installing
the reservoir, determine which inlet port fitting(s) will be
used and is(are) the correct size for the shower drain
hose(s), then cut off the closed end of the selected port
fitting(s) with a hack saw. Do not cut off the ends of
port fittings that are not intended to be used.
The shower sump reservoir should be secured to a solid
flat mounting surface with either short stainless steel
screws or affixed with a quality marine sealant with good
adhesive characteristics (such as Rule* Elastomeric
Marine Sealer) used as an adhesive. If securing the
reservoir with screws to the bottom of the vessel, ensure
the penetration of the screw is significantly less than the
thickness of the hull. Mark the location of at least four of
the reservoir’s mounting holes and then very carefully
drill pilot holes for the screws. It is helpful to wrap the drill
bit with a piece of tape so the tape’s edge indicates the
maximum depth of the hole to serve as a stop indicator.
If securing the reservoir with a sealant, apply a liberal
bead of the sealant along the line of the mounting holes
on the underside of the mounting tabs. Press the
reservoir into place and leave it undisturbed until the
sealant has cured (check the manufacturer’s
recommended cure time).
The Shower Sump Pump’s 3/4" (19mm) discharge hose
should climb continuously and be attached to a thru-hull
fitting that remains well above the vessel’s waterline at
all angles of heel and trim. Sailboats normally discharge
through or just below the transom. The discharge
plumbing must not have any dips in it that would create
a water trap that will retain water in the hose. If this
occurs the Shower Sump Pump might airlock. To
maximize pump performance, the discharge plumbing
should be kept as short and straight as possible. Attach
all hoses to their respective hose barbs with stainless
steel band clamps. It is recommended that all plumbing
be secured in place about every 18" to 24" (45cm to
60cm) along the length of its run.

WIRING
All wiring connections must be made with mechanical
locking connectors (crimp type) and secured in a dry
location well above bilge areas where water may collect.
To better protect butt connections made in a humid
marine environment, it is advisable to seal the connections
with a small amount of marine sealant. Connect the gray
wire lead (from the switch) to a positive (+) power source
using a minimum16 gauge (1.5mm2) conductor**. This
conductor should originate from an overload protected
distribution panel where the conductor (and complete
circuit) is protected by a 5 amp fuse or circuit breaker for
12 Volt pumps and a 2-1/2 amp fuse or breaker for 24
Volt pumps. Connect the black lead (from the pump) to
battery negative.
** 16 gauge (1.5mm2) wire is large enough for total 12
Volt circuit lengths (combined positive (+) and negative
(-) conductors) of up to 50 feet (15M). Circuits longer
than this should use larger wire. Between 50 and 90 feet
(15M and 27M) use 14 gauge (2.5mm2) and between 90
and 130 feet (27M and 40M) use 12 gauge (4mm2). 24
Volt circuits can use 16 gauge (1.5mm) wire for total circuit
lengths of up to 100 feet and should use 14 gauge
(2.5mm) if the circuit length is between 100 and 150 feet.
