The Rule ECO-Switch (part number 39) is an automatic bilge pump control switch designed for marine applications. This device offers a non-mercury alternative to traditional float switches, utilizing air pressure to activate a bilge pump. As water levels rise in the bilge, air is displaced within an attached air tube, generating pressure that triggers the switch. This mechanism ensures that all electrical wiring remains out of the water, eliminating submerged electrical connections and internal moving parts. The ECO-Switch is suitable for IT and facilities managers overseeing marine fleets or vessels where reliable, automated bilge water management is critical. It addresses the need for a robust and environmentally conscious solution for preventing water accumulation, reducing maintenance concerns associated with submerged electrical components, and providing consistent pump control without the use of mercury.
The Rule ECO-Switch activates based on air pressure. As water rises in the bilge, air in an attached tube is compressed, and this pressure triggers the switch to control the bilge pump.
No, the Rule ECO-Switch features a non-mercury design, offering an ecologically sound alternative to traditional bilge pump control switches.
A key benefit is that all wiring for the ECO-Switch remains out of the water, and there are no submerged electrical connections. This design enhances reliability and reduces potential issues associated with water exposure to electrical components.
The Rule ECO-Switch is designed without any internal moving parts, contributing to its reliability and potentially reducing wear and tear compared to switches with mechanical components.
