Sorry. No specializers in bilge work. I would guess the smaller the worker, the better?

Never heard of a timer triggered bilge pump. I would think they would die very quickly running empty every three minutes. If they ran for 3 minutes. That's 10 cycles per hour or 240 per day x 3 minutes. Or 720 minutes a day. 12 hours a day run time every day.

I would think that thing would be lucky to last more than one season

Not the best design. Comes on for 1 second, every 3 min to check for water. If it detects water , then comes on until water is gone. I constantly have the battery charger on. Rule says it's the electronic sensor doing its job, and has little draw on battery?? I like the external float switch better

I found a better one than float. On the sea tow boats the floats would get jammed with crap in the bilge like a pen did once. Deck drains to the bilge because deck line is below waterline and can't use scuppers. So it gets to be a junk collector.

On own my 14 footer, I've been using a solid state attachable float switch for my 2500 gph Rule for about 5 years. Flawless.

That design is ridiculous because you still end up with a sensor to fail anyway.
