Geez! You could accomplish the same thing with a peristaltic pump and a
timer for <$200. Maybe I should start up a new company! I just searched for
those types of pumps and found them on Amazon.com for around $120. All the
common ones will probably be 120v though. I didn't bother to search for 12V.

If the shoe fits, get another one just like it.

After seeing the link to Arid Bilge in yesterday's posts, I tried to get
more info from their web site but couldn't find anything. Wrote to the email
address listed asking for more specific info and pricing, and the response
is quoted here:
Lets talk about how it works first. All Arid Bilge Systems have more in
common with the simple wet vac than with a conventional bilge pump. Once
every three hours the system samples each of the zone(s) individually and if
liquids are present continues running cycles until an all dry state is
reached. And we mean bone dry.
The spec sheets are on our website at www.aridbilge.com, then click on
Series 2 Specifications on the right column, the third from the top.
The series 2 nano is $1465.00 for the single zone version and $1880.00
with two independent intake zones. Way too much money? Not really. These
systems are delivered complete with intake tubing and the bilge pickups. No
external float switch or control panel is needed because the system is fully
automatic and has twin vacuum switches inside the main box. Installation on
the DeFever will take between 3 and
5 hours. Many of our clients will do this simple installation themselves.
With the installation finished dry odor free bilges become automatic and
effortless.
At that price I wasn't interested! Sounds like a solution for someone with
an unlimited budget.
