Water pressure pump:
A water pressure pump is a device commonly used in boats to provide a pressurized water supply. Water pressure pump plays an essential role in various applications on board.

Manual pump:
A manual pump for a boat is a device used to remove water from the bilge or any other compartments in a boat. You can buy manual pumps from Plastimo, Vetus, Nuova Rade, Lalizas, and Hart.
Selecting the right pump for a boat involves considering various factors related to the boats plumbing, water systems, and specific requirements. Here are steps to guide you in choosing the appropriate pump for your boat:

Identify pump types needed:
Bilge Pump: Used for removing water that accumulates in the bilge area to prevent flooding and maintain a dry hull.
Freshwater Pump: Provides pressurized water for faucets, showers, and other onboard water systems.
Washdown Pump: Used for cleaning the deck, fishing gear, or other areas with seawater.

Flow rate and capacity:
Determine the required flow rate and capacity based on the intended use of the pump. Consider the water demand for each application e.g., showers, sinks to select a pump with adequate capacity.

Power source:
Choose between electric and manual pumps based on your boat´s electrical system and your preferences. Electric pumps are common for bilge and freshwater systems, while manual pumps can serve as backups or for specific applications.
Voltage compatibility:
For electric pumps, ensure the voltage of the pump matches your boat´s electrical system e.g., 12V, 24V. Use marine grade pumps designed for the marine electrical environment.

Automatic vs. manual operation:
Consider automatic bilge pumps that activate when water levels rise above a certain threshold, providing continuous monitoring and automatic operation without manual intervention.

Durability and construction:
Choose pumps made of corrosion resistant materials such as marine grade plastics, stainless steel, or bronze to withstand the marine environment and prevent deterioration.

Size and installation:
Consider the physical size and installation requirements of the pump. Ensure it fits in the designated space and is compatible with the boat´s plumbing layout.
Noise consideration:
Some pumps can generate noise while operating. Look for pumps designed to operate quietly to avoid unnecessary disturbance.
