Planning a shower drain box replacement, and I'm planning on using Whale Marine's Grey IC system. If you haven't seen these, they seem to be a slick replacement option for the smelly, always full of something shower boxes: https://www.whalepumps.com/marine/product.aspx?Category_ID=10021&Product_ID=10040&FriendlyID=Grey-IC
I'm not affiliated with them or any retailer.
The basic idea here is the shower box is gone, you use their mainfold (or they have shower drain options too) to connect the sources and it senses the water, and cycles the linked pump. Their site above has great videos that shows it all very clearly. Supposed to be more trouble-free. Personally if I never have to open up a shower sump box again, I'll be really happy!
In my case the Grey IC manifold is ALMOST perfect. It will take my shower drain and sink drain no issues. But, I have a condensate drain from the forward AC unit (well I think that's what it is):
What should I do with this condensate drain? I do have a bilge pump in the same area that needs replacement:
I'm going to be boating on Lake Superior, and while I'm sure there will be some summer days the AC will be used heavily, would it be a major issue to just have this drain into the bilge? I don't really like that idea...but any other ideas?
Also, any experiences with the Whale products? From what I can recall here on TF, most have been super happy with the Whale system.
Thanks!
