BilgAlarm™ is the most reliable high bilge water warning system on the market today. There are no float switches or other moving parts to foul or fail, and unlike other bilge alarms,
the test button tests the complete system, including the bilge sensors and bilge wiring.
BilgAlarm™ warns you when water begins rising in the bilge. It is critical that you discover a leak quickly, before the electrical system, the engine and the leak itself are under water. This early warning gives you more time to find the leak, get passengers into life vests, deploy extra pumps and put out a distress call.
BilgAlarm™ Fail-Safe systems continuously test the complete system, including all bilge sensors and bilge wiring and provides a 5 second delay to avoid nuisance alarms from sloshing bilge water typically found in fishing boats and other commercial vessels.
Complies with U.S. Title 46 CFR 28.250 & 182.530 and U.K. Seafish Construction Standards.
Boaters seldom know that most bilge alarm “test buttons” give a false sense of security because they test only the buzzer and the light, and do nothing to test the float switch and the bilge wiring. Failure to test the complete system often results in failure to warn of high bilge water and a possible boat sinking.
BilgAlarm™ test buttons test the complete system, including bilge sensors and bilge wiring and the warning siren can’t be inadvertently turned off because the mute button automatically resets at the conclusion of each test or emergency.
BilgAlarm™ has been engineered for both power and sail boats and is available for up to 32 bilge compartments in 12 or 24 VDC.
The cost of repairing a boat that has been underwater, even briefly, is usually about 40% of its value. A submerged or even partially submerged boat can cost tens of thousands of dollars to repair, not to mention boatyard storage fees and loss-of-use of your boat. Additionally, the loss of personal effects and fuel or oil pollution fines may not be covered by your insurance policy.
