An electric bilge pump is a device used to remove water that accumulates in the bilge of a ship, boat, or any other vessel. This small bilge pump can be used in both fresh and sea water.
Tips: Do I Run Bilge Pump All the Time?
It is not necessary to run a bilge pump all the time unless there is an ongoing leak or excess water accumulation in the bilge. Bilge pumps are designed to remove water from the bilge when it reaches a certain level, usually determined by a float switch or sensor. If you notice that there is a consistent amount of water in the bilge, it may be necessary to run the small bilge pump periodically to prevent water accumulation from damaging the boat or its equipment. However, if the bilge is relatively dry, there is no need to run the pump all the time. It is important to regularly check the bilge and ensure that the pump is functioning properly to prevent any potential issues.
