Rule 800 GPH 20SA Electronic Sensing Bilge Pump-800

The Rule 500 GPH 25SA Electronic Sensing Bilge Pump has garnered a range of customer responses that outline both its merits and drawbacks. Many users praise the ease of installation and reliability, often noting that the pump continues to function effectively even after years of use. One reviewer highlighted that after five years, the pump was still working as intended, demonstrating durability appreciated by customers. However, the pump’s automatic sensing feature has received mixed feedback. While some users value the peace of mind provided by the automatic operation, others found the frequent self-testing to be disruptive, especially in sleeping areas, leading them to switch to a different model. It appears that the model's sensor feature can lead to occasions where pumps do not respond to immediate problems as required, which can be critical in emergency situations. One user experienced a distressing scenario when their pump did not activate automatically during a leak, resulting in damage to their boat. Another area of contention is regarding compatibility with previous Rule models. Although the pump is designed with a thoughtful mounting mechanism allowing some flexibility for installation, a previous user noted the incompatibility of the new design with older components, which might pose challenges for those looking to upgrade without major modifications. In summary, the Rule 500 GPH 25SA Electronic Sensing Bilge Pump has a solid reputation for reliability and ease of installation, but potential buyers should Consider the implications of its automatic sensing capabilities and compatibility with older models carefully. **
