I have the water witch, & my primary water is from the mast also and I have 
never had a problem -

When I was looking to replace my automatic bilge pump switch, the Water Witch 
was high on my list of choices until I read this note on the Water Witch 
website. 















NOTE:










If large amounts of rain water can enter the bilge, it may dilute the normal, 
fresh or salt, water outside our
sensitivity window. Corrective action can be to switch pump on manually to 
remove diluted water or to
add minerals such as salt, baking soda, bilge cleaners, etc... NORMAL FRESH 
WATER HAS AMPLE
MINERAL CONTENT FOR PROPER OPERATION. 





Since the only water coming into my boat is rainwater from the keel stepped 
mast, the Water Witch was no longer a viable option. Some people who install 
this switch may not be aware of this shortcoming which can cause unexpected non 
performance.

Interesting idea but I'd be concerned about the current draw.  The alarm
circuit may not be designed to handle the amperage of a pump.

Re: Stus-List bilge pump switch

[Marek Dziedzic]

Thanks to all for your comments. I have ordered a Water Witch switch from 
Defender last night. Interestingly, I could not source it (for any reasonable 
price) anywhere in Canada. My local Chandlery could not even source it at all 
(they could not get any solid state switches, period). Apparently, solid state 
bilge pump switches are exclusively available in the US (:- ).

Defender was better, even with the ridiculous shipping charges.

thanks

FWIW, the way I mounted mine was simply strapping it onto a keel bolt with
tie-wraps. If yours don't stick up like mine do (3) you could just get a
nut and bolt and screw a few threads onto the top of what you have and screw
the bolt into the remaining few threads of the nut and snug it.

I inherited a piece of PVC pipe.  the PO drilled a couple holes, used zip
ties and lowered into the bilge.

I think Mine is a Water Witch, altho I wouldn't bet the farm without looking
through old receipts. I like it a lot.  Never had a mechanical one, so I
cannot comment on the differences.  What is says is true, it won't pump oil,
so keep an absorbent pad under your engine in case something bad happens. It
has always worked flawlessly.
