12V Automatic Bilge Pump 600GPH (38L/min, 12V DC)
The primary purpose of this 12-volt automatic bilge pump is to keep the bilge area of the boat (the lowest part of the hull) dry and prevent it from taking on excess water from rain or leaks, which can affect the boat's buoyancy, stability, and overall safety. It provides peace of mind to boaters by automatically managing bilge water without the need for constant manual intervention. Bilge pumps are essentially submersible pumps that can handle water that is not entirely clean. Note that a bilge pump cannot pump oil though. This bilge pump can also be used in camper vans, caravans and in light industrial applications. This fully automatic pump does not require an external float switch. The pump turns on when the water level rises above the strainer (bottom part) of the pump. The strainer is easy to remove and clean. This 12V DC pump only draws 2.5A, making it suitable for small 12V batteries.
