Is this an automated bilge pump?

No, this is not an automatic pump. It requires manual and or float switching to opetate correctly.

No, and don't by a rule automatic, they run off a very weird sequence of operation. They actually turn on every 5 minutes and measure current. They can run your battery down and not be as reliable as a float style.

Yes. There is a one way valve in the braided supply line. Great heavy duty pump

yes, it is. First one we had many problems with the pump and after sending it to the service center twice, I finally got thme to replace it free. The second one has presented no problems for 6 months.

Installed properly, your bilge pump will operate automatically through the switch and also can be turned on manually through your main switch. Personally I had 3 of these electronic float switches and all went bad in 30 days. I prefer the ball floats.

I do not know. However, the pump has been going for several years now without issue.

you need a timer to turn the pump on and off for automatic or you will have to manually turn it on and off... I choose to have it on auto this is the timer the tech support guy at Hayward recommended for me and works great. Intermatic T104 208-277-Volt DPST 24 Hour Mechanical Time Switch

No, its a great pump. I use it to clean aquariums. But, it does not have enough suction to clean from the bottom of a pool. Also, it is not self priming.

Can't answer this. I bought this pump to replace a bad OEM pump on our Mercruiser IO. Worked fine, but I have no idea if it would be appropriate fo what you want to do. Sorry.

This pump does have an automatic switch that works based on the water level. (I can't answer about the discharge head height.)

This pump is NON-Automatic, you will need to add the Rule-A-Matic Float Switch 35A or get the combo.Please let us know if there is anything else we can do to help youThank you very much

No... Amazon has a 12v pump that is Awesome though. It inflates and deflates. Sorry, it only has the boat itself

No, but they do make a manual siphon pump that works very well. We received one free to try and it works so well that we realized that we could have bought the manual one instead. This battery operated one works well too but only attaches to non-threaded bottles.

Yes it needs a switch, it just comes with pig tail wire leads. The switch you connect depends on what you want to do and fitment to your boat. A float switch in the bilge will turn it on when ever the bilge fills until it pumps out enough water assuming your batteries are supplying power to the switch - good if your boat is parked in a marina with power overnight. A manual switch will only run the pump when you switch it on, this also allows you to let the motor with no water present and run the bilge dry which isn't great for it - and you could also kill your battery if you let it run for days on end with no aux power connected. The switch should be rated for 18-24V and be fuse protected. 15A is probably more than enough.

No, it's a very small recirc pump that stays on 24/7 in my spa. 1/40 hp I think.

I am almost certain the answer is "no". It turns valves on and off, and has no way of sensing water pressure, etc.

I have mine on a switch, it is not an automatic on/off water activated pump.

The switch I bought is a two position switch. Up for on and down for off. After going back and reading the listing I saw that they have the configuration you are looking for available for your bilge pump. Good luck!
