When adding a secondary or backup bilge pump, do you add another float switch or do you let this pump work only as a manual(flip the switch) type pump. Do you go with the same size pump as the primary or larger?
Also, does anyone have a local source for 3" or 3 1/2"(not sure which yet) ID exhaust pipe that doesn’t have an inflated West Marine price on it.

Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn’t go so far as to call a dog filthy but they’re definitely dirty. But, a dog’s got personality. Personality goes a long way.

what about a float switch and manual swotch with the float mounted higher than the primary and a larger pump that could then be mounted near the primary pump
i have 2 and both are on their own circuit with their own float switch…
also while your at it get a high water alarm,no matter how many pumps /switches you have they will fail when you need them the most…trust me,i have been there twice and both times there was a failure either with the pump or the float switch,thankfully the high water alarm alerted us something was wrong before it got out of hand…
Chris, that was kind of what I was thinking. I just wasn’t sure on the extra float switch. I didn’t see a need for both pumps running simultaneously. I didn’t think about the high water alarm, thats a good idea and piece of reference.
