Albin Group Compact Waste Water Diaphragm Pump - 22L(5.8GPM) - 12V

The Albin Group Compact Waste Water Diaphragm Pump – 22L (5.8 GPM) – 12V is the reliable workhorse every serious boater needs for managing bilge, gray water, and waste systems. Whether you're running a center console, cruiser, or commercial fishing vessel, this Swedish-engineered pump eliminates the guesswork from onboard water management. Built to handle the corrosive reality of saltwater and freshwater environments alike, it's the kind of equipment that runs quietly in the background while you focus on what matters: time on the water.

At its core, the Albin Group pump uses a diaphragm design that delivers a consistent 22-liter (5.8-gallon-per-minute) flow rate on a standard 12-volt electrical system. The diaphragm mechanism is inherently self-priming and tolerant of cavitation—critical traits when dealing with intermittent water sources or air pockets common in boat plumbing systems. The compact footprint (9 x 7 x 12 inches) and modest 5.45-pound weight make installation straightforward in tight engine rooms or locker spaces, while the proven Albin engineering ensures durability through seasons of saltwater exposure and freeze-thaw cycles that would compromise lesser pumps.

This pump excels for anglers and cruisers who demand reliability without fuss—those who'd rather replace a worn impeller than troubleshoot a failed system mid-trip. It integrates seamlessly into existing 12V DC systems found on most recreational and working vessels, and the diaphragm's tolerance for debris makes it ideal for applications where intake water isn't perfectly filtered. Marine surveyors and experienced boat builders consistently specify Albin products for their longevity and low maintenance burden, making this compact pump an investment in peace of mind.
