Contact UsTef-Gel™ should be applied to any metal surfaces where corrosion, galling, or seizing could occur, especially between dissimilar metals. Common marine applications include:
- Stainless steel fasteners on deck hardware, rigging, and fittings
- Aluminum fittings and metal-to-metal joints
- Sailboat rigging and turnbuckles
- Through-hull fittings and other hardware exposed to saltwater
- Bolts, screws, and threaded connections that may be difficult to remove later
Apply a thin, even layer to the contact surfaces before assembly. Tef-Gel™ will form a long-lasting protective barrier, preventing corrosion while keeping hardware moving freely.
The ULTRA Pumpswitch stands out due to its rugged, marine-grade construction and durable design. Unlike many traditional float switches, it’s built with:
- A durable, sealed float mechanism
- No mercury or hazardous materials
- All stainless-steel and non-corrosive components
- Waterproof construction designed for long-term reliability
- Resistance to oil, fuel, debris, and harsh bilge environments
- Positive-action switching with no electronic timer delays
- The result is a switch that is highly reliable, safe, and built to outlast standard bilge pump switches.
Installation is simple and similar to most mechanical float switches:
- Wire the switch in-line with your bilge pump following the diagram on the switch body.
- Test the switch to confirm proper float movement and pump activation.
- Mount the switch vertically in the bilge using the included stainless hardware.
- Ensure the float has free movement and sits at the desired activation height.
- No calibration or electronic settings are required, just mount, wire, and test.
Yes. ULTRA Pumpswitches are engineered specifically for harsh marine environments, including saltwater. Features that support marine durability include:
- Non-magnetic stainless-steel parts
- Heavy-duty, impact-resistant casing
- Fully sealed and water-resistant construction
- Materials that resist corrosion, oil, fuel, and debris
- They are designed to perform reliably in both saltwater and freshwater bilges.
