Hi Dennis
Are you referring to a bilge pump or the bilge pump high water switch...
What's the model number of the system you've installed?
Thanks

Bob alludes to a critical but often overlooked issue.  Wiring that is too small to carry the amperage of a user, in this case, a bilge pump, can result in excessive voltage drop.  Low voltage could contribute to premature failure.

I second the Ultra Safety Systems bilge pump.  I don't have one on Touche' (yet) but my buddy and I installed a bunch of them over the years.  To my knowledge, they are all still working.

I’ll add a little bit to this discussion...up until this year I was replacing RULE Super Switches every year—sometimes they didn’t even last a year.  I never had a problem with my RULE 1500 bilge pump, just the float switches.  I recently changed over to a float switch made by ULTRA systems and I love it.  It hasn’t been a year yet but it is manufactured so much better than the RULE float switches that I’m sure it will last several years at least.

I’ve also replaced my bilge pump wiring and went up one size from the minimum needed to do the job.  All connections are done with heat shrink connectors too.

David, can you provide a few more details? What do you have currently and what quit working? I have bilge pump issues myself and need to do something different with my setup, thanks

Every friggin year more BS.   So changing out primary to diaghram and secondary (3000+ gph) to a higher quality (not Rule) pump recirculating.

Any brand suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
