The switch activates the pump when water reaches 2 inches and turns it off once the level falls to 3\/4 inch, giving consistent, hands-free protection against water accumulation in the bilge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt for continuous marine service, the Rule-A-Matic uses 14 gauge highly abrasion-resistant, marine-grade blocked wire along with exclusive moisture-tight seals to resist corrosion and moisture intrusion. Its switch design is engineered to prevent rapid on\/off cycling, which reduces wear on the connected bilge pump. The float mechanism is mercury-free and is tested to over one million cycles for long-term reliability. For best performance, install the Rule-A-Matic on a flat surface within the bilge compartment.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis float switch is rated for 12\/24 VDC systems and is suitable for use with any submersible bilge pump drawing up to 14 Amps. It is backed by a 2 year warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e
