The Jabsco 12V Eco-Air switch is an automatic system that detects the water level in the bilge and activates the bilge pump via a pneumatic system. As the water level rises, air pressure inside the tube with membrane activates the switch, allowing immediate drainage without mechanical failure risk due to debris.
Technical Features
- Operating Voltage: 12V DC
- Activation Type: Pneumatic, by water pressure
- Compatibility: Automatic 12V bilge pumps
- Installation: Simple on bilge floor; requires mounting and pump connection
Advantages
- No exposed moving parts: higher reliability and less maintenance.
- Prevents blockage from particles or dirt.
- Ideal for marine environments with bilge debris.
Applications
- Automatic bilge systems in yachts, sailboats, motorboats, and professional vessels.
- Compatible with most 12V bilge pumps.
Installation and Maintenance Tips
- Check the airtightness of the pneumatic tube connection to avoid false activations.
- Regularly inspect the tube and membrane condition for optimal operation.
