Johnson Pump 2200GPH Ultima Combo Auto Bilge Pump - 12V - 02274-001

Johnson Pump 2200 GPH Ultima Combo Automatic Bilge Pump (02274-001)

The Johnson Pump 2200GPH Ultima Combo Auto Bilge Pump 02274-001 is a high-capacity, heavy-duty pumping system that combines the brute force of a 2200 GPH centrifugal pump with the sophisticated reliability of a solid-state Ultima Switch. This "Combo" package provides an all-in-one automatic solution for large vessels, commercial boats, and offshore yachts where rapid water evacuation and hands-free operation are critical.

The Ultimate in Automatic Reliability

By pairing a heavy-duty 2200 GPH pump with the Ultima electronic switch, Johnson eliminates the most common point of failure in bilge systems: the mechanical float. The Ultima switch uses patented Mirus field-effect detector cells that sense water levels without moving parts. These sensors are unaffected by oil, fuel, or floating debris, ensuring the pump activates only when water is present and preventing the pump from running dry or failing to trigger.

Key Features:

• High-Capacity 2200 GPH Flow: Engineered to move massive amounts of water quickly (139 L/min), providing an essential safety margin for larger hulls.

• Automatic Operation: The pre-installed Ultima Switch automatically activates the pump at 2" (50mm) of water and shuts it off at 3/4" (20mm).

• Industrial-Grade Motor: Features a 12-pole motor with double ball bearings and a liquid-cooled design for extended service life under continuous use.

• Mechanical Shaft Seal: Equipped with a professional carbon/ceramic mechanical seal that prevents water ingress and protects the motor better than standard lip seals.

• Non-Clogging Design: The solid-state switch is not susceptible to "sticking" due to bilge scum or debris.

• Removable Strainer Base: The snap-on base allows for effortless cleaning of the impeller and intake without tools or disconnecting plumbing.

• Ignition Protected: Fully compliant with USCG and ISO 8846 standards for safe use in gasoline engine compartments.

Why Choose the 2200 GPH Ultima Combo?

The Johnson Pump 2200GPH Ultima Combo Auto Bilge Pump 02274-001 is the gold standard for high-volume automated bilge management. It offers the mechanical durability of Johnson’s "Heavy Duty" pump line with the "Smart" technology of the Ultima series. This combo is the ideal choice for boaters who want a high-output primary pump that they can trust to activate every time, regardless of the condition of their bilge water.

Installation Pro-Tip:

This pump moves water at high velocity; ensure your discharge hose is reinforced and secured with double stainless steel hose clamps at every connection point. The pressure generated by a 2200 GPH pump can easily blow off a poorly secured hose, which could inadvertently flood your boat.
