Automatic Bilge Pumps - 1100 Gph Electronic Sensing 12V Bilge Pump

In the next generation sensing bilge pumps, the 1100GPH 12V S series pump works on the principle of impeller resistance. The pump will turn on every 2-1/2 minutes for about one second to sense for water. If water is present, the pump will sense resistance and continue to run until all water is removed. After that, it will resume checking for water every 2-1/2 minutes.

Water is kept in check between 1/8" and 3/8"!!! Great idea when power conservation is needed and as an added benefit, no float switch is needed!
