A: GPH stands for Gallons Per Hour, and it measures the pump's flow rate. The correct GPH for your bilge depends on the size of your boat. A common guideline is to have a minimum of 500 GPH for boats under 20 feet, 1500-2000 GPH for boats 20-30 feet, and 4000+ GPH for larger vessels over 35 feet. It’s always better to have more capacity than you need.
A: A standard bilge pump requires a separate switch (like a float switch or a panel switch) to be activated. An automatic bilge pump, like the Rule-Mate series, has a built-in water-sensing mechanism (either a float or an electronic sensor) and will turn on and off automatically as water levels in the bilge rise and fall.
A: While you should avoid running any pump dry intentionally, Rule pumps are designed with built-in thermal cut-off protection. This feature senses when the motor is beginning to overheat (from running dry) and temporarily shuts it down to prevent damage. The pump will reset once it has cooled.
A: Regular inspection is key to reliability. We recommend checking your pump and float switch at least once a month. Clear any debris from the pump's strainer, test the float switch by lifting it to ensure the pump activates, and check all wiring and hose connections for corrosion or wear.
