I use a groco air switch. A tube runs down into the bilge and the switch is

whatever you want. It's basically a big diapharam switch like a washer uses
to sense when the tub is full.

Any suggestions for a bilge pump switch that will activate at about 1.5"
water level and shut of at less than 3/4"? Of course reliability counts.
I remember that everyone is unhappy with the Rule products.

thoughts, suggestions and experience appreciated

thanks

cool. I'll look for them and see if I cam make them work for me...

Again, your problem is not the switch, but the fact that most bilge
pumps will not pump a bilge dry.

True, most will not pump a bilge dry. But most air switches that I have seen will
shut of at about 1", and come on at about 3". Most pumps will pump to less than
3/4". I have a flat bottomed shallow bilge. I will accept the short cycles that
this is gonna give me, but I need a switch which will turn on at about 11/2" and
shut of at about 3/4 inch.
