A reliable system for handling both clean and dirty water is needed on every seaworthy ship. The correct marine pump system makes sure that you are safe, comfortable, and efficient at sea, whether it is getting rid of extra bilge water or sending pressurized fresh water to showers and sinks. We at Pitter Nautic Shop focus on high-quality bilge pumps and fresh water pumps for boats that are known for their performance, dependability, and resistance to corrosion. Our selection has something for every sailor, from coastal cruisers to offshore yachtsmen. You can choose between automated, manual, and pressure-controlled operation.
One of the most common concerns on board is water collecting in the bilge. If your bilge pump system isn't working properly, it might make your boat less stable, corrode, or even put its structural integrity at risk. Our bilge pumps for boats are built to address these problems with ease. They rapidly and effectively drain water, keeping your bilge dry and your boat safe. They have high-capacity impellers, sealed motors, and strong housings.
We provide both "manual bilge pumps" for when you need them and "automatic bilge pumps" with built-in float switches for constant protection. Every model is made to work in marine situations and is resistant to salt, oil, and vibration. Install one pump at the lowest point of the bilge and a second pump higher up for backup to get the best results. You can be sure that your bilge system will work even in bad weather with our high-quality choices from well-known companies.
Automatic bilge pumps are a must-have addition for peace of mind without having to use your hands. These smart systems automatically turn on when the water level rises, stopping flooding even when you're not on board. We have versions at Pitter Nautic Shop that come with built-in float switches, water sensors, and low-energy motors that run quietly and effectively. Many pumps also have manual override features that provide you more control whether it's bad weather or you're cleaning.
Automatic pumps are great for bigger yachts and motorboats with deep or hard-to-reach bilge compartments. You may add alarm systems to them that let you know when the water level is too high, which adds an extra element of safety. It's easy to set up: just connect it to a 12V or 24V power source with marine-grade wires and place the discharge hose above the waterline so that water can drain properly. Once it's set up, you'll be protected all the time with little upkeep.
A steady and pressured supply of fresh water is important for comfort on board. Our fresh water pumps for boats are made to send water to your galley, sinks, showers, and heads in a smooth, quiet way. These self-priming pumps include automated pressure switches that keep the flow steady without pulsating, so you may experience the same comfort as at home.
Choose between modest "single-outlet pumps" for smaller boats and "multi-outlet marine pressure pumps" for bigger yachts with more than one faucet. They are made with stainless steel parts that won't rust, heat protection, and efficient motors, so they will work reliably even in tough environments. Many variants are made for 12V or 24V systems and come with rubber mounts to reduce vibration. When used with a marine accumulator tank, they keep the pressure stable and cut down on pump cycling, which makes your system last longer.
A solid backup is an important part of any maritime water system. When electrical systems fail or the power runs low, manual bilge pumps and hand-operated water pumps are there to help. They are small, useful, and easy to use, making them vital for any sailor who sails offshore. We have both foot pumps and hand pumps that may be put in the cockpit, galley, or even on deck.
High-quality polymers or stainless steel are used to make manual pumps that can last for years. They use diaphragms or pistons to move water. They can handle both fresh and salt water, thus they can be used for a lot of different things, such draining bilge compartments and rinsing decks. We at Pitter Nautic Shop suggest that every boat have at least one manual backup pump on board so that it is always ready for anything.
To keep your marine pump systems running smoothly and dependably, you need to install them correctly. For bilge pumps, put the unit near the bottom of the bilge and make the discharge line as short and straight as possible to reduce resistance. Use watertight connectors, tinned copper wire, and inline fuses to make sure everything works safely. To make sure they work right, test the float switch and manual override on a regular basis.
Put your fresh water pumps near the water tank and put in strainers or filters to keep dirt and other things from hurting the impeller. Check hoses for leaks, tighten clamps, and clean the pump housing every so often. To get ready for winter, empty all the water lines and use non-toxic antifreeze to protect the seals. A few minutes of maintenance at the end of the season will keep your system in great shape for years to come.
At Pitter Nautic Shop, we know a lot about boats and love them. We only sell proven, marine-grade bilge and freshwater pumps that sailors all over the world trust. Every pump is checked for dependability, efficiency, and resistance to rust. This is because every little thing matters when it comes to safety at sea.

We provide a wide range of solutions, including automatic bilge pump kits, pressure-controlled freshwater systems, manual emergency pumps, and wiring accessories. We know what genuine sailors require because we've been maintaining and running charter yachts for decades. You can count on the quality of our work. Every season, you can count on Pitter Nautic Shop to keep your boat dry, safe, and comfortable.
The size and shape of your boat will determine how much water the bilge pump can hold. For most boats, you should strive for at least 1,000 gallons per hour (GPH) for every 7–8 meters of length. For redundancy and speedier drainage, bigger boats or boats in turbulent conditions may need more than one bilge pump with a higher capacity.
No — bilge pumps for fresh water are made for different things. Bilge pumps are made to move dirty water, oil, and debris, while freshwater pumps are made to move clean, pressured water. To keep things clean and working properly, always use separate systems.
Check your bilge pump once a month, turn on the float switch by hand and make sure it lets out water the right way. Keep your strainers and filters clean on a regular basis. If you take care of them, most good pumps can last 3 to 5 years or longer. But if they start to work less well or show signs of rust, you should replace them right once.
Pumps for freshwater need minimal care but should be checked every several months. Make sure the pressure switch works smoothly, check for leaks, and clean the strainers. Before putting things away for the winter, drain all the water and use antifreeze to keep the seals and diaphragms from freezing.
Pitter Nautic Store sells only high-quality, marine-tested bilge and freshwater pumps made to last in saltwater and work all the time. We offer experienced guidance, parts that professional sailors trust, and proven reliability. This makes sure that every trip is safe, comfortable, and stress-free.
