It doesn't say but I'd assume from their method of water detection they would turn on with less than 2 1/8 inch of water. Problem with this is they draw power at regular intervals to check for water. Rule claims .24 amp hours per day for the 500gph pump. Sounds OK except for longish multiday paddles -maybe. > >has anyone tried these auto pumps.
