About brand
Back in the 1950s, Rule recognized a significant challenge—boats were sinking for reasons that could’ve been avoided. What began as a modest operation focused on marine safety quickly evolved into a cornerstone of the boating industry. As marine technology developed, Rule stayed ahead, delivering pump systems that became the go-to choice for commercial fishermen and recreational boaters alike.
Their principle has stayed steady over the decades: design equipment that performs when you need it most. Rule pumps have built their reputation in the field—through storms, mechanical failures, and those high-pressure situations where reliable water removal is the difference between a close call and a catastrophe.
Today, Rule pumps continue that legacy of practical dependability. Every system is engineered by professionals who understand that marine equipment isn’t just about making life easier—it’s about ensuring you get back safely. With distribution through marine dealers and major retailers like Amazon, it’s easier than ever to equip your vessel with the same trusted pumps used by professionals.
FAQ
A bilge pump is a device used to remove water from the bilge of a boat or ship. It helps prevent flooding and maintains buoyancy by expelling accumulated water, whether from rain, waves, or leaks.
Rule bilge pumps typically feature a motor that activates when water is detected, either automatically or through manual control. The pump draws water in through an inlet and expels it through a discharge outlet, effectively keeping the bilge dry.
Automatic bilge pumps are equipped with a float switch that turns the pump on and off based on water levels, providing hands-free operation. Non-automatic pumps require manual activation, allowing the user to control when the pump operates.
Choosing the right pump depends on factors such as the size of your boat, the typical water accumulation you expect, and your power supply (12V or 24V). Rule offers a range of models with different flow rates, so consider your needs for capacity and installation space.
Installation typically involves securing the pump in the bilge area, connecting the power supply, and ensuring the discharge hose is directed outside the boat. Detailed installation instructions are usually provided with each pump model.
