Overview
A submersible pump built for a boat's bilge, the Rule 10 moves water through a 1-1/8 inch discharge outlet. Its snap-lock strainer base opens for quick access to the strainer and impeller cavity, and it has anti-airlock protection.
Easy strainer access and a motor protected against ignition sparks suit a pump that lives in a wet, tight space. Since it is non-automatic, it relies on a manual switch or a separate float switch you add.
Who it's for
Owners who want a dependable, serviceable pump and already have a bilge switch or panel. Anyone wanting automatic operation needs a float-switch model.
Pros and cons
- Snap-lock strainer base
- Ignition protected motor
- Does not burn out run dry
- Non-automatic, needs a switch
- Body dimensions look like placeholders
- Short warranty window
Performance notes
Flow is highest with a short, straight discharge hose, since lift and hose friction reduce output. The snap-lock base lets you clear debris from the strainer quickly, and the pump will not burn out if it runs dry.
