We have gotten our new Jabsco Hydro Air bilge pump sensor installed. This sensor will turn on our Whale Gulper bilge pump. It works on air pressure. When one inch of water gets in the bilge the Whale Gulper will go off. It is our everyday bilge pump. We ran a test today by putting the garden hose into the bilge and adding water. It seems it was more than an inch of water but not by much and it did start the Whale Gulper and shut it off when the water got low. So a good test! We also test the other bilge pumps and alarm and all are working fine!

If there ever gets to be about eight inches of water in the bilge, then the Rule 2000 bilge pump goes off also. If about a foot and a half of water gets in the bilge then our bilge alarm goes off and it is a real loud siren. Then we would turn on the Jabsco bilge pump and it would run along with the other two. All go to their own thru hulls. If they cannot handle it and I run out of arm on the cockpit hand-pump bilge pump, we will jump in the dinghy!
The sensor that came with the Whale Gulper broke and we replaced it. That one also broke so we went with the air pressure one. We do have a deep bilge which we like.
