Electronic bilge pump switch

Quick Links

Instead of an unreliable and short-lived mechanical float switch, why not use the original Electronic
Bilge Pump Switch? The Water Witch 217, 230 or 230-24 is a submersible electronic bilge pump
switch allows boat owners to forever rid themselves of the archaic outdated float switch. The 230 has
no moving parts, requires no adjustments and works in an oily bilge. This eliminates the chance of
your battery dying or your pump burning out because of a failed mechanical switch. Water need only
touch the lower sensor for 6-8 seconds to activate the switch. The delay eliminates pump stutter and
once water has left the sensor, the switch continues to run the pump an additional 14 seconds to
clear the output hose. Temperature, humidity or electrical noise will not effect this switch, nor will it
interfere with other electronics. This switch comes with an unprecedented 7 year limited warranty
and is in use by both the Canadian and U.S. Coast Guards. If it's good enough for them,......why not
for you?
