I third the Ultra Pumpswitch – Just discovered them myself. At first I couldn’t figure it out, a lot of extra wires, which can be used for high water alarm, either with that switch or a separate switch. I was not impressed, until I took it out and cleaned it up.
Really well made, a quality USA Made product. I also have the Water Witch, and like that a lot as well – Biggest problem is filthy bilges. Keep plenty of absorbent mat around, and keep your bilge DRY. Another reason I am on a mission to keep water out of my mast.

Subject: Re: Stus-List I am so done with bilge pumps... Bob alludes to a critical but often overlooked issue. Wiring that is too small to carry the amperage of a user, in this case, a bilge pump, can result in excessive voltage drop. Low voltage could contribute to premature failure. I second the Ultra Safety Systems bilge pump. I don't have one on Touche' (yet) but my buddy and I installed a bunch of them over the years. To my knowledge, they are all still working. Dennis C.

I never had a problem with my RULE 1500 bilge pump, just the float switches. I recently changed over to a float switch made by ULTRA systems and I love it. It hasn’t been a year yet but it is manufactured so much better than the RULE float switches that I’m sure it will last several years at least. I’ve also replaced my bilge pump wiring and went up one size from the minimum needed to do the job. All connections are done with heat shrink connectors too.

What do you have currently and what quit working? I have bilge pump issues myself and need to do something different with my setup, thanks Sent from my iPhone On Jul 24, 2018, at 6:36 PM, David via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> wrote: Every friggin year more BS. So changing out primary to diaghram and secondary (3000+ gph) to a higher quality (not Rule) pump recirculating. Any brand suggestions? Thanks in advance.
