SEAFLO Automatic Submersible Boat Bilge Water Pump 12v 750GPH Auto with Float Switch

Very good and reliable bilgie pump, I was so happi to installed in a fiberglass boat that I had, we went fishing to the lake Erie an suddenly it became very agitated and a big waves 4 to 5 fts. Drop a lots of litres of water inside the boat in a seconds, it was a very scarry experience, but this little machine did an excellent job pushing out all the water in seconds, and I can say probably saved our life. IF YOU LOVE YOUR SELF PLEASE DONT BUY CRAP. This bilgie paid itself the prize.

We have 2 Seadoos (Wake 155 and GTI 130) and wanted to have the 'insurance ' of a bilge pump in case the unthinkable happened while out on the water. I had seen many pre-packaged PWC specific bilge kits that ranged from $100-$180, and none had a true automatic function. Most were either pure manual or turned on automatically at preset intervals whether there was water in the bilge or not. I installed the first one I ordered on our GTI and it worked brilliantly. Installation was straight forward, although I ordered with the Shoreline Marine Bilge 3 way switch based on Amazon's prepackaged recommendation. I wouldn't recommend this combination as the amp rating on the breaker is too high for the pump. I read through every single review on this pump because I wasn't familiar with the brand, and haven't experienced any sensitivity of the switch cycling on/off based on back pressure from water in hose. My setup has about 3-4 ft of 3/4" hose. The pump is less then 2 ft below the outlet point. Our outlet is almost straight up - it has a slight angle towards the rear of the ski (there are limited areas to mount). The pump is powerful and shoots water out in a 2 foot stream until the water level in the bilge goes down. I had an initial concern that the pump didn't shut off when water was evacuated, but the pump continues for 30-60 seconds and then shuts off. I was looking initially at external float switches, but this pump saves space. I really like the integrated float that resides within the pump housing so as to be protected from loose debris that may end up in the bilge area and cause an external float switch to be stuck open. The float dial on the pump also allow you turn the pump on for testing purposes/ if you are working in the bilge. For our application (3 person pwc) the GPH may be overkill but the package works well. So much so, that ordered the same exact pump for our second ski- but this time with the Rule 43 combo switch (which allows you to select the proper fuse amp). Great value, effective pump. Will update as time moves on.

It works, it fits and seems decent quality.

This is actually my second seaflo pump that will replace one that worked on my mako skiff for 5 seasons. As long as you can keep debris from gathering around the float the auto feature will work as intended. I use a switch with mine and have it on auto to give me piece of mind when it rains and I'm not around. If you want added piece of mind you can use some filter material to keep debris from getting down into the bilge area .It moves alot of water and has handled some very bad storms.

Very good for the price. Replaced a dead pump which used resistance as the "automatic" switch part. However - this type is pretty annoying since it constantly is turning on every minute which isn't great for sleeping! This unit uses a float which seems to work pretty well. (So no turning on and off) Can wire it to a switch to turn on via manual mode as well. Seems like the output works pretty well

This is a great little product. I have a basement apartment which needs a dehumidifier. The problem is, no one can ever remember to empty the water and the dehumidifier shuts off. I solved this problem by placing this pump in the water reservoir of the dehumidifier and used a coleman thermoelectric 120v step down to 12v cooler adapter and ran a drain hose through the wall where the DSL cable comes into the bsement. Works like a charm... problem solved. If you need this for what it was designed for (bilge pump for boat) I have no doubt it will work perfectly for your need. This pump has an automatic float switch that kicks on when the water level rises and shuts off when the water is gone, and it also has a second line so you can install an on/off toggle switch to manually run the pump.

This pump is NON-PRIMING which means if it doesn't have a prime it won't pump water. Once primed it works well, but that prime will get lost after awhile in a dry bilge which could sink your boat. Additionally, after just a few hard rains the float switch failed. Luckily it failed ON, meaning the pump turned on. It appears the float is too light to reliably turn the pump off. It does not have a screen over the impeller meaning the only debris blockage are the large slats in the lower (black) body housing and it doesn't take much debris to clog the pump.

I have this set up to pump rainwater into tank when basin fills using the auto on float feature. After about 2 years of intermittent use, this stopped working and it just runs continuously. I opened and cleaned the unit but no change. I even took the washer off and removed the float and no change. I need it to work automatically, so it's just e-waste now.

**Update**: I ordered a second unit to replace the original pump. It works ok but the condition I received it was not so good. Since it worked I could not be bothered to return it. It looked like it was used (scratches on the bottom and nicks on the body inside) This unit had a white top (added images) whereas my first one had an orange top. **End of update.** I used 3M 4200 as an adhesive as it appears strong enough but at the same time should be able to scrape the pump off when the time comes. PROS: It works (see video) Easy enough to install unless you have an inboard/outboard which means you will need to do some contortions to place it under the engine and be a bit inventive in fixing it to the hull ( I chose bonding it to the hull rather than screwing it in.) Instructions are fairly good for a Chinese product. Easy to remove from base. CONS: No fuse component included. Buy a 6 amp fuse and holder in advance of installation if you are going to wire it directly to the battery bypassing the boat circuits. No foam protection to prevent float from moving float during shipment. No telling how much wear and tear it suffered in shipment (possible premature aging/wear and tear of the moving component, the float.)

J'utilise cette pompe pour vider automatiquement un RIB et ainsi éviter de devoir ouvrir ou fermer les vide-vites. L'intégration du contacteur automatique, protégé, est un plus car un contacteur-flotteur séparé est facilement bloqué par les objets que l'on met derrière le siège.

Worked flawlessly for three years before failing. Given the location in my boat and the abuse, it took from the 12-gallon fuel tank constantly sliding around and bashing into it, and my neglect to clean the leaves and debris out of the shallow well it sat in - I'd say I got my money's worth and couldn't have asked much more from this product for the $28.88 CAD I paid for it at the time. However, I now see it is selling for $49.99 on Amazon.ca - which is much less of a deal.

Moins chere que celles achetées dans le commerce, pour la même qualité! Installée dans une cale de bateau, elle fonctionne tres bien. Je recommande

Purchased a pump from another supplier and had to return it since the impeller would cavitate with air everytime the unit started up. The Seaflo pump worked perfect first time out of the box. As the water level raised slowly the units automatic switch worked well and shuts off when done. Good product at a good price. R.
