Rule-Mate Automatic Bilge Pump 500 GPH 12 Volt – New Design RM500B-24
Rule-Mate fully automatic submersible bilge pumps with new innovative design incorporates the bilge pump and water sensor in a single housing. RuleMate bilge pumps provide ultimate pumping performance, which helps keep your bilge clear of nuisance water, building on the genuine Rule design.
The new RuleMate bilge pumps operate using an internal level sensor. When water reaches 2″ (5cm), the pump will automatically activate, removing water from the bilge. When the water level reaches 3/8″ (0.9cm) the pump will turn off until the water level rises again.
Bilges are not always clean and free from debris. If the level sensor becomes fouled by debris or contaminated water, RuleMate’s unique back up feature will prevent the pump from entering a run-on condition, protecting the battery while maintaining automatic operation.

No Float Switch Required. The Rule Mate series of Bilge pumps feature a solid state water sensing technology that eliminates the need for a separate float switch. When water enters the bilge and reaches a certain height 50mm (2 “) a sensor turns the pump on. After the water is pumped out, another sensor shuts the pump off. The sensor’s unique “field effect” technology is eco-friendly because they only sense the dielectric constant of water. In the event of an on-board oil spill, straight motor oil that enters the bilge will not turn the pump on. Please note, that not an oil overspill system or a safety measure device. The result is the most technically advanced and ecofriendly bilge pump available in the marketplace. It’s part of Rule’s continuing commitment to preserving our navigable waterways. Rule has been building bilge pumps for 40 years. The pumps are preferred by yachtsmen and commercial fishermen the world over.
