500 GPH Bilge Pump, 12V/24V

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.

Features

• Bilge pump adopts special materials for waterproof sealing, super insulation, and high safety in use.
• The small bilge pump is driven by a permanent magnet motor, which has a small size and ultra-low noise.
• Electric bilge pump uses 12V/24V DC regulated power supply, which is efficient and energy-saving. Intermittent operation is more conducive to extending the service life of the pump.
• It comes with a grid filter that automatically filters larger objects, protects the normal operation of the pump, and extends the service life of the pump.
• It can extract finer particles, less oil and other impurities.
• Stainless steel pump shaft and thermoplastic pump body are durable and non-corrosive, and can be used in both fresh water and sea water.
• The filter device is easy to install and remove, ensuring the mini bilge pump can run freely without vibration.

Tips: How Does a Bilge Pump Work?

Water enters the bilge area of the boat, either from waves, rain, or other sources. The portable bilge pump is activated either automatically or manually. The electirc bilge pump draws in water through an inlet valve located near the bottom of the pump. The water is then pushed out of the pump through a discharge port, usually located above the waterline of the boat. Depending on the design of the pump, it may use impellers, diaphragms, or other mechanisms to create suction and move water out of the bilge. The pump may also include a float switch, which activates the pump when the water level in the bilge reaches a certain height.
