Another great video, you are my favorite RUclipsr. I’m about to replace another one of these integrated automatic pumps with a separate switch and pump.
I was using cheaper float switches, guessing Chinese copies of Rule , found they got stuck in the up position at the hinge point , maybe just a few grains of sand , who knows . Ended up hot gluing a bit of closed cell foam to the top of the paddle with a small bit of lead glued to the foam too, gave the switch more mass to go back down . Seen someone else use cork but I'm not a wine drinker ..... found it made the switch operation a lot more reliable and no real change to the turn on / off water levels. Thanks for the video showing the normal and unhealthy pumps on the graphs , had no idea a bad pump would look that noisy .
Those automatic pump that sense water every few minutes only good for a short while. Tons of problems. Now I changed all to float switch and automatic water sensing switch
I hate those type of pumps. We did a video ages ago about having independant alarms and manual switches as well as automatic. Great video. I think we are both of the same mind. Sail Safe mate. Ant & Cid
The Pico red inductive 60A probe came with the old 4425 Pico interface I got several years ago. It connects to the interface with a standard B&C connector. It's certainly fine for my use although one would always like the upgrades with newer models. You don't need this kind of professional style automotive scope to get waveforms, especially if you just want a quick look without having to record waveforms. There are Chinese scopes for sale on Amazon that are in the hundred dollar territory, and inexpensive current probes with less sensitivity can be found, too. Pico also sell less expensive scopes that seem to be popular. Thanks for stopping by!

Nice upgrade with video documented procedures! I believe your set up with the float switch is a better way to go.

Thank you for the lesson. Nice job too.
Great diagnosis and explanation!
Awesome sailboat ⛵️ videos, explaining intimidating concepts and problems encountered

Nice work with the scope. What was the current interface you used to get those waveforms please?

Great vid, thanks. I learned a lot.
I get the same life from Rule switches as the automatic pump: 3 year. Its best to get a Ultra switch.
keepem coming
Thank you
