Installed a Water Witch switch AND Bilge Counter a few years ago so I know if I
have a leak that needs attention. A great product. I also installed a manual
bilge switch in the bilge just beneath the sole to assist in getting the bilge

Is it oil sensing? Some of the oil sensing ones are IMHO too sensitive and
won’t ever run the pump unless the bilge water is drinking water clean.

I second Water Witch. We switched to that 4 seasons ago and it has worked
perfectly.
The only thing to watch out for is wet slime buildup on the switch will cause
it to be fooled and run. Quick wipe off and good
and it is not
constantly testing like an automatic bilge pump.

Do any of the pumps have one way valves built into them.
Our Rule pump let's water run back into the bilge, just enough to make it
run again when on auto.
It didn't do this when new two years ago.
Is it no good now?
Thx.

I might have to check these out. One of my Rule switches is flaky, or there
is a bad connection somewhere down there. As it's the secondary pump, I've
ignored it for now, but I plan to tackle it again before our long summer
trip in a few weeks. I'd love to get a switch that will activate earlier so
Another vote for the Ultra Safety Systems bilge switches. They are designed
with the common (3 way) connections inside the switch. That is, there are
separate wires for the manual supply, automatic supply and switched power to
the pump. The negative side also runs through the pump. Each wire com
I have two questions related to the correct way of doing wiring in a wet area
(bilge) of the boat.
1. In the process of wiring in my new high water alarm, I found it convenient
to split an existing always hot red wire in the bilge area to run both the
bilge alarm and the emergency bilge pump
