jgregblair Many automatic bilge pump detect water by measuring the pump motor current. if there is no water, the motor spins fast pumping air and draws minimal current. if there is water, the motor is under load, pumpiing water not air,, and draws more current. Once pumping, the motor stays on until the current drops indicating no more water. Cycle this every few minutes and you have an automatic bilge pump.
