Two rules on one controller?

[surazo]

I have two 2000 gpm .One is with a bilge switch and a pump activation control light with their own floating switch when is working and the second one is 6 inch above connected directly a different switch who is connected directly to the bank with manual activation .It is my backup

This is a bit "off-topic" but...

I came across a seller on eBay who was selling a 3000+ gph Rule bilge pump at quite a low price. It was 5 years old and never been used. I asked what the story was and he said his insurance company required the bilge pumps to be replaced every 5 years. Maybe that would be a good buy for someone looking for a back-up pump?

What about connecting the second direct to the house battery no switch (using its internal auto)?

Thats the way it was done with the two old units I replaced

When I replaced both the old float style rules with the resistance 1100s someone on here told me you could straight exchange them at westmarine

That said after dissecting the old one, I view these like zincs, sacrificial but on calendar date or IRAN, I was going to change mine out at 3 years I think (made a calendar reminder lol).
