    Hi all, I want to start off by saying that I use Rule pumps for bilges, only because that is apparently the best out there! I have recently been looking at Vetus bilge pumps as an alternative, they are about a 1/4 the price:) but I do not know how good they are:confused: Tried to scour the web to find answers but to no avail. Can anybody out there shed some light for me??
    Thanks!!

    Same. I always buy rule because that's what I've always had. Vetus is a good brand name and I'd look at their pump for that savings where you are at. I always add a second pump with its own auto switch wired directly to the battery. Cheap insurance.
