Seaflo 13B Series Time Sensing Automatic Bilge Pumps

The Seaflo 13B Series Time Sensing Automatic Bilge Pumps are compact 12-volt automatic bilge pump which automatically checks for water every few minutes so there is no need for a float switch. The bilge pump is fully submersible so it sits directly in the bilge water. As it doesn't have a float switch or external sensor there is nothing to block or get stuck making them extremely reliable.

These automatic bilge pumps check for water every 2.5 minutes and then when it detects water it continues pumping the water from your boats bilge until there is no more resistance on the impeller.

Bilge Pump Installation & Maintenance

The Seaflo bilge pumps are designed for easy installation, with simple wiring and mounting options. The strainer can be removed from the bottom of the pump and screwed to your boat, the pump can then be clicked back into position. This makes them suitable for both new installations and as replacements for existing bilge pumps.

The pump easily splits down, both the pump and strainer can be unclicked from the main body giving access to the components for cleaning and servicing. The hosetail connector also unscrews giving access to clean the one way valve.

What are the main features of the Seaflo 13B Series Time Sensing Bilge Pumps?

• Submersible Design: These pumps are designed to be submerged directly into the bilge water for efficient and rapid water removal without the need for manual intervention.
• Automatic Time Sense Technology: The Seaflo 13B Time Sensing Bilge Pump operates on an automatic cycle for checking water levels. In the continuous cycle, the pump will check for water ever two and a half minutes. When water is indicated to be present the pump will operate for 0.5 seconds each time to remove water automatically. If a heavy body of water is sensed then the pump will continue to operate until the low lever is reached.
• Durable Construction: Seaflo bilge pumps are constructed of robust materials, including corrosion-resistant thermoplastic housings and stainless steel components. This ensures durability and longevity, even in harsh marine environments.
• Removable Strainer: The water inlet strainer lies very low to improve water intake. It is also removable to aid in the cleaning of debris.
• Anti-Airlock Protection: This feature helps to prevent water air locks which can stop some pumps from operating. This helps the pump prime itself for operation.
• Non-Return Valve: The Seaflo 13A Series pumps have a non-return valve in the outlet pipe connector to prevent water backflow.
• Ignition Protection: The pump is fitted with ignition protection and uses moisture-tight seals in the housing to prevent water from entering the pump motor.
• Split Quick-Connect Port: The split quick-connect port allows for easier hose connection as the hosetail connector is tightened onto the pump using a 'floating' thread collar nut meaning that you do not have to remove the hose before undoing the pump.
• Low Power Consumption: SeaFlo bilge pumps are designed to be energy-efficient, consuming minimal power while providing effective water removal. This is essential for boats where power supply may be limited, such as those relying on batteries or small onboard generators.
• Regulation Standards: The Seaflo 13A Series pump is certified as ISO 8846 and ISO 8849 standards.
