In the first attempt I made at an electric bilge pump, I used an automatic float switch. But every time I rolled or carried the kayak on my shoulder the pump turned on. It also did not empty as well as wen under manual control. All the versions I have used since use a hot tub "air switch" which works well. The "button switch" has no corrodible parts and the actual electrical switch is safely inside an otterbox.
