DavidPeckham Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Hi all, bilge pump working ok on the switch but not coming on automatically, anything obvious going on there? Gave it a quick clean but it still only kicks in for a second on auto then stops. Cheers, Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotEver Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 If it has a float switch then that could be stuck, gunged up or not floating. Also the microswitch could be faulty. If it’s an internal water level sensor then there’s probably little you could do. If you cant suss it then just buy a stand-alone float switch and wire that in.

DavidPeckham Posted May 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 Cheers, can't see a float switch, if there is one it's in a plastic casing (it's a Rule-mate 500) doesn't look blocked up. Will look at other options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 18, 2019 Report Share Posted May 18, 2019 they get corrosion on wiring and connections. just a matter of cleaning connection points most the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
