Water can accumulate in the bilge from time to time for a variety of reasons, be it rain, a leaking valve or a through hull. In order to be able to pump out this water automatically, float switches are required.
This Attwood float switch can used to switch a bilge pump to fully automatic operation. The switch features a compact, low-profile design and can be mounted horizontally on any surface up to a 24° angle. An integrated switch activates the pump at a water level of 50mm and deactivates it when the water level falls below 10mm. The housing protects the switch from dirt particles and other debris interference. It also dampens bilge sloshing to reduce pump cycling.
