The Rule ECO-Switch is an environmentally friendly, automatic control switch designed specifically for bilge pumps. Setting itself apart from traditional switches, the Rule ECO-Switch uses a mercury-free design, operating instead on changes in air pressure to ensure safer and more stable operation. As water level rises in the bilge, the air within the connected air tube increases in pressure, consequently triggering the switch to activate the pump. This cutting-edge approach dispenses with the need for mechanical parts that move, maintaining all electrical wiring above water and avoiding any submerged electrical connections, thereby enhancing reliability and decreasing maintenance concerns.
Recognized for its reliability and outstanding performance, the Rule ECO-Switch has become an increasingly popular alternative to the conventional float switches widely utilized in boat bilge systems. However, it's important for consumers to be aware that the product includes STYRENE, a chemical listed under California's Proposition 65 as a known carcinogen.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the Rule ECO-Switch work?
A: The Rule ECO-Switch detects the water level through the change of air pressure within an air tube connected to it. When the water level elevates, the switch is prompted to activate the bilge pump.
Q: Does the Rule ECO-Switch contain mercury?
A: No, the Rule ECO-Switch does not contain mercury, making it a safer and eco-friendly choice for operating bilge pumps.
Q: Are there any submerged electrical connections with the Rule ECO-Switch?
A: No, the design of the Rule ECO-Switch maintains all electrical connections clear of the water, thereby eliminating the chance of complications from submerged wiring.
Q: Is the Rule ECO-Switch a reliable device?
A: Yes, due to its innovative design and the elimination of mechanical components susceptible to failure, the Rule ECO-Switch boasts a reputation for reliability and superb performance.
Q: What is STYRENE, and why is it a concern?
A: STYRENE is a chemical included on the Proposition 65 list, maintained by California, identifying it as a substance that can cause cancer. Consumers should review information provided at P65Warnings.ca.gov to understand the related health risks.
