Every good boater knows that it is important to have a good pump to keep the bilge clean and free of water. The water that comes over the boat generally flows to the bilge and can sit there for a long period of time eventually becoming rancid and possibly causing damage to the boat. There are many brands and types of pumps available; one of the most popular is the Rule Bilge Pump.
Rule is a brand that boasts of quality boating accessories including their eco-friendly Rule Mate bilge pumps. They use a solid state water sensing technology that does not require a separate float switch on the pump. The Rule Bilge Pump sits in the bilge and when water reaches a height of 2 and ¾ inches a sensor first turns the pump on and when the water is gone another sensor turns it off.
Another great feature of the Rule bilge pump is that it will only recognize and sense water that enters the bilge. It is considered eco-friendly because if motor oil or any other harmful liquids enter the bilge the sensor will not allow the pump to turn on. This sensing technology keeps the rivers, lakes and other waterways boaters enjoy free from pollution.
