For full automatic bilge pumping operation, connect the automatic switch to your bilge pump. The AS888 automatic switch has a time-proven micro switch without mercury. When water exceeds the acceptable level, the pump is turned on by a rolling steel ball, which changes the pressure on the micro switch. The AS888 attaches to any SPX Johnson Pump Marine bilge pump through the clip on T-slot and can be used with 6, 12, 24 or 32 V systems. Use AS888 for a better and safer life afloat!
