ZDIGBILGEIQ - Digital Yacht Bilge IQ Intelligent Bilge Pump Control

Bilge IQ Intelligent Bilge Pump Control

A humble electric bilge pump is installed on just about every boat, but boat owners don’t know much about its operation and run times – or even if it is still functional. Bilge iQ from Digital Yacht aims to change this and brings the latest NMEA 2000 and Wi-Fi monitoring plus switching control technology to any electric bilge pump.

Bilge iQ integrates with NMEA 2000 and Victron networks for complete bilge pump management

Bilge iQ fits in minutes to existing systems, which may incorporate a standard ON-OFF-AUTO panel (with an integrated float switch) or to any manual system.

It also connects to the boat’s NMEA 2000 network, so the multi-function display can use a standard switching command to turn the pump on and off, and also display the pump’s status or fault based on an industry-standard NMEA 2000 pop-up alert. It also integrates with Victron’s Cerbo GX systems and VRM cloud monitoring solution.

Plus! It has a wireless interface enabling a phone or tablet to connect and display a history of pump operations. The actual current draw of the pump is also displayed in real time to show that the pump is operating correctly. Standard alerts also allow for remote monitoring.

Make for a better boating environment, too

You can add a 3rd party bilge water discharge filter to your system to ensure oil, debris, and contaminants are not discharged overboard.

The filters require periodic replacement for correct operation.  Bilge iQ provides the boat owner with accurate pump run time data to allow economic and periodic filter replacement.

Features:

• Control and monitor your bilge pump with NMEA 2000 (MFD compatible) and wireless interfaces
• Customizable alerts for the boat’s NMEA 2000 network
• Wireless interface for phone and tablet connectivity
• Works with any pump or switch arrangement
• Monitors the actual current draw of the pump to confirm correct operation
• Compatible with Victron Cerbo GX systems for control and cloud monitoring
• Optimize replacement of bilge water discharge filters with true running time and flow rates
• Optional additional float switch for high-level water alarm
• Fail-safe operation always allows for manual override

The Digital Yacht Bilge IQ Intelligent Bilge Pump Control, part number ZDIGBILGEIQ, is designed for B2B marine clients requiring enhanced monitoring and control of electric bilge pumps. This system integrates with existing bilge pump setups, including those with standard ON-OFF-AUTO panels or manual systems, to provide operational data and remote management capabilities. It addresses the need for real-time pump status, run time tracking, and fault alerts, which are critical for vessel maintenance and operational awareness. The Bilge IQ connects to NMEA 2000 networks, allowing multi-function displays to control the pump and show status or fault alerts. It also offers a wireless interface for monitoring via phones or tablets, displaying current draw and historical operation data. Integration with Victron Cerbo GX systems and VRM cloud monitoring is supported, providing comprehensive bilge pump management and optimizing the replacement schedule for bilge water discharge filters.
