12V or 24V DC Bilge Pumps can be used instead of drainage pumps when there is no 240v power available. They can be operated from a boat, car or truck battery, solar or wind turbine.
You can drain water from a stormwater pit, underground manhole or tank using a bilge pump as long as the head doesn’t exceed what the pump performance chart shows. Our smaller bilge pumps are around 3m max head and the larger bilge pumps can manage up to 7.5m head.
A bilge pump is a submersible water pump used to remove unwanted water. Some models can run-dry for short periods. Since fuel can be present in the bilge, the bilge pumps are designed to not cause sparks.
Manual Bilge pumps can be fitted with float switches making them automatic which turn on the pump when the bilge fills to a set level.
If possible, the pump is placed at the lowest point at the bottom of the hull, pit, tank etc so as to suck the maximum amount of water out. They could be used to bring water up from a shallow well or to fill above ground tanks.
Bilge pumps are portable and can therefore be used in many situations where normal power supply won’t reach. These pumps are extremely efficient, draw low current and offer high capacity output in a very compact housing, to fit into the smallest available space. The low profile bilge pumps will fit into small tight spaces.
They can be manual pumps, or automatic if fitted with a float switch.
There are also some Kits which include a tank with the pump fitted inside the tank.
As most bilge pumps are designed to be operated on boats, they can be used to transfer salt water.

I ordered my pump (Solar fountain pump with battery backup) on Friday afternoon and received it Tuesday. There was a substantial cost saving when compared with the local irrigation supplier suggested by the manufacturer. They would have had to order it in specially yet Strongman had stock and it was delivered to my door. Marvelous!!
Submersible bore pump at an excellent price and don’t be put off by the distance away as freight service was very prompt and included in the overall price. My first call or email will be to Marion when I need another pump. Highly recommend Strongman pumps.
I have bought two sump pumps from this business in the last few years. This is an excellent business as Marion has always been extremely helpful in choosing the best pump for the job. I have been very happy with how quickly my pumps have been delivered. An excellent business to deal with.
Easy purchase and very impressive turn around between order and delivery. Thank you. (purchased a Franklin Electric submersible motor)
Marion went above and beyond my expectations in listening to my needs and tailoring a solution for me. Amazing customer service and great product thankyou. (purchased a household pressure pump). Cheers Nick
New motor for main station bore pump used for livestock & house water delivered within 24hrs. Unbelievable service when you are in a remote region and you have to rely on the efficiency of the supplier. We thank you for such a fast delivery.
Thank you Marion for your assistance in choosing the right bore pump for my needs. Your estimation of pressure with respect to type of sprinklers was spot on. A good service.
Thanks Marion for your prompt action on my order. The pump motor arrived within a week and the bore is back in service. (purchased a Franklin Electric 4″ submersible motor)
I ordered a 12v water pump on line. Marion responded quickly with a personal communication (rather than the more robotic ones I’ve become used to lately from other companies) to confirm the delivery details which is refreshing. Ongoing communication was kept up re picking, dispatch etc and the unit turned up surprisingly quickly. Very happy with my first engagement with Strongman Pumps. They’ll be the first port of call in future. 5 stars.
