The Rule 500GPH Standard Bilge Pump is a next-generation submersible pump designed for efficient water removal in small boats. It operates at 12V DC, delivering a flow rate of 500 gallons per hour (approximately 31.5 liters per minute). The pump features a high-efficiency, low-amp motor that draws 1.6 amps, ensuring minimal battery consumption. Its compact dimensions (approximately 99mm high, 64mm x 74mm) and lightweight design make it ideal for ski-boats and small vessels. The robust plastic body includes an integrated strainer and a quick-release inlet strainer for easy cleaning. Additional features include a built-in thermal cut-off to prevent overheating, a non-return valve to prevent backflow, and hidden air vents to prevent air locking. For automatic operation, the pump can be paired with Rule float switches.
