Rule 500 GPH Bilge Pump (31 L/min) 12V

Rule’s compact submersible 500 GPH electric pump is designed for use as a bilge or bait pump on smaller crafts.

This pump features a water cooled, ignition and TCO protected motor, stainless steel shaft and snap-on strainer base.

It’s extremely efficient, offering low current draw and high-capacity output in a very compact housing to fit into the smallest available space.

This pump requires a Rule float switch to operate automatically (sold separately – see related products). Using the included check valve will reduce the output flow of the pump.

Product Features:

• Fully submersible pump – 500 US gallons per hour – 31 litres per minute
• Higher flow – optimised impeller to provide greater flow at the same amperage as previous model.
• High efficiency, low amp draw, ignition protected motor includes true Electromagnetic suppression (EMC)
• 16-gauge tin coated copper electrical wiring with silicone infused water blocking feature – to stop water wicking down inside the wiring
• In-built thermal cut-out (TCO) in the motor provides additonal protection for pump & vessel.
• Backflow prevention – now includes a removable check valve in the discharge nozzle which reduces the amount of water draining back from the pump discharge hose into the bilge.
• Please note – using the check valve will reduce the rated output flow.
• Threaded discharge port – gives easier installation and maintenance.
• Discharge hose port is included with each pump.
• Hidden air vents in the pump prevent air locking in challenging plumbing installations and helps with the check valve operation.
