Subject: Stus-List Bilge pump switch
When I was looking to replace my automatic bilge pump switch, the Water Witch
was high on my list of choices until I read this note on the Water Witch
website.
NOTE:
If large amounts of rain water can enter the bilge, it may dilute the normal,
fresh or salt, water outside our
sensitivity window. Corrective action can be to switch pump on manually to
remove diluted water or to
add minerals such as salt, baking soda, bilge cleaners, etc... NORMAL FRESH
WATER HAS AMPLE
MINERAL CONTENT FOR PROPER OPERATION.
Since the only water coming into my boat is rainwater from the keel stepped
mast, the Water Witch was no longer a viable option. Some people who install
this switch may not be aware of this shortcoming which can cause unexpected non
performance.
