Froodies Hoodies: Works as it should. They all (any brand) fail eventually but this company does honor warranties and will replace if within time frame.

I had to buy this as a replacement. The old unit would rise on the water level and as the float dropped it would not turn off the pump. If they were to make the float valve easy access then regularly maintenance could have been carried out to clear scale build up on float switch .
Easy to fit . Comes with a lengthy power lead

Tom: Purchased for a dead float switch for the aft pump in my boat. Same size, brand, wiring, everything. Remove the old one, drop this one in, and presto should the need arise (I hope not) my bilge pump will work by itself. Sure there not 15 bucks anymore, but why chance it with something that "may" work on your expensive boat. In fact install 2, just in case, cheap insurance when your miles out in the great blue. Yes you do have to wire them, so a bit of know how is important, so don't blame the switch for a bad install. In my reviews most of them are highly rated as I look for what I need, prior to buying, and are based on that fact (price/requirement/use). I've not had to contact the seller for any issues or claims, however would not hesitate to purchase this product, or from this seller again.

KDW: I needed to replace my float switch and I thought this was a direct replacement. Rule makes high quality stuff so I ordered this. The screw holes in the boat did not line up however, so I had to redrill a hole. No big issue and it works perfectly.

Robin Bonner: The old had failed and left boat vulnerable. Replaced and now feel better knowing the automatic bilge pump is on the job when I can't be.

Hickers: Well it works, so far, but this is the third of these switches in 8 years I have had to replace due to the same failure that saw the pump running constantly. I just wish they upped the quality even if it cost more as it is located in a hard to reach position. Best not to make this switch in China perhaps.

Anon: I am impressed with this switch. It is semi enclosed to prevent debris from holding it down, preventing its operation. It also has an external lever to easily check the bilge pump operation operation when the water level is low.

GK5040: I always use Rule pumps and switches on my boat because I think they are best made and are the most reliable. SeaRay installs them originally. They cost more than most, but maybe it's because of the quality. You can easily sink your boat if a pump or switch fails. Even though I think they are priced high, it's worth the money knowing they are reliable.
