As is appropriate for the market leader, the World’s largest manufacturer of bilge pumps have completely redesigned and upgraded their “Rule-Mate” range.
The new pumps incorporate water level sensing inside the pump housing. This avoids the need for a separate float switch and wiring. (Corroded wiring and connectors are one of the main reasons for bilge pump failure.)
Not only that the new models feature even more improvements (see box.)
Apart from that, the new model has a removable strainer to access impeller area to remove debris. The discharge nozzle is now threaded, allowing for more secure hose coupling. RTM stock many straight and right angle plastic fittings for any installation configurations.
All Rule pumps have a 3 year warranty.
