DavidPeckham 0 Report post #1 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WotEver 3158 Report post #2 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.
