07BILGE & EMERGENCY PUMP SYSTEMS

Not just a pump — we build a reliable bilge system that switches on automatically the moment it is needed.

01Which problems do we solve?

  • Is the bilge pump not starting automatically?
  • Does the pump keep cycling on and off?
  • Is the float sticking or the sensor giving false alarms?
  • Is there no high-water alarm — or has it never been tested?
  • Is water flowing back through the discharge line?
  • Is the pump running but not moving water?

We determine whether the problem is the pump, the float or sensor, the power supply, the check valve or the discharge line — and hand the system over tested in automatic, manual and alarm modes.

02Scope of service

Bilge & emergency pump systems

Selection, installation, maintenance and function testing of bilge pumps, automatic level control, high-water alarms, discharge lines, check valves, manual override and redundant systems.

  • Automatic bilge pumps
  • Manual bilge pumps
  • High-water alarm systems
  • Float switch installations
  • Electronic level sensors
  • Backup pumps
  • Emergency pumps
  • Discharge lines
  • Check valve installations
  • Suction lines and strum boxes
  • Pump power supply and fuse checks
  • Manual override
  • Pump selection and capacity assessment
  • Installation and relocation
  • Mechanical installation and piping of fire pump lines
  • Function and alarm testing

A reliable bilge system has four layers

  • Automatic start — float switch or electronic level sensor
  • Manual operation — manual override at the panel
  • Early warning — high-water alarm
  • Redundancy — backup / emergency pump

Every layer is tested separately.

03How does the system work?

From the bilge well to overboard.

  1. 01Bilge well
  2. 02Strum box / suction
  3. 03Float / level sensor
  4. 04Pump
  5. 05Check valve
  6. 06Discharge line
  7. 07Overboard

Power supply, fuse, manual override and high-water alarm are integral parts of the circuit; the pump is only safe when the whole chain works.

04Our service approach

“A bilge pump has to work when it is needed most.”

We don’t treat a bilge system as a single pump, but together with suction, level sensing, power supply, discharge line, check valve and alarm. Pump capacity, compartment volume, line size and discharge head are considered together; the system is handed over tested in automatic, manual and alarm modes.

05Service process

From survey
to service report.

Our goal is not just to get a system running again, but to hand it over correct and serviceable.

  1. 01

    System check

    Pumps, floats and sensors, power supply, lines and check valves are checked.

  2. 02

    Fault / risk assessment

    Failed or undersized components, backflow and missing alarms are identified.

  3. 03

    Solution plan

    Pump selection, sensors, alarm, backup pump and line revision are defined.

  4. 04

    Implementation

    Installation, line renewal, check valves and sensors are fitted.

  5. 05

    Function test

    Automatic start, manual override, alarm and discharge are tested.

06Systems / brand examples

Common in the industry

Common bilge pump brands in the industry

  • Rule
  • Jabsco
  • Johnson Pump
  • Whale
  • SEAFLO

Brand names are used to identify systems common in the industry; they do not imply authorized service status. Pumps are selected for compartment volume, capacity and installation conditions.

Ask a question
How do you choose a bilge pump?

Compartment volume, possible water ingress, suction and discharge head, line size and power supply are assessed together. Rated flow drops in real conditions, so capacity should have a margin — and a backup / emergency pump should be considered in addition to the automatic one.

Is a high-water alarm necessary?

It is recommended. It gives early warning when the automatic pump fails or ingress exceeds pump capacity, and it should be tested regularly.

Do you work on fire pump systems?

Mechanical installation and piping of fire pump lines are within our scope. Design and certification of class-approved fire-fighting systems are handled by authorized bodies.
