Xylem Inc. was recently recognized as the winner of the 2016 Innovation Awards – Mechanical Systems announced at the International BoatBuilders’ Exhibition & Conference (IBEX) for its Rule brand next generation bilge pumps.
Winners were chosen by a panel of eight judges from the professional organization Boating Writers International (BWI).
The next generation of Rule’s bilge pumps offers higher flow and backflow prevention that prevents water from reentering the bilge, and features a built-in thermal cut-off (TCO) that provides added protection for pump and vessel. Installation is easy in different configurations, due to the threaded discharge that allows for different port sizes. Rule bilge pumps meet performance testing at 12V vs. 13.6V, resulting in higher flow for the toughest applications.
