Why should you care? Stopping or slowing the incoming water is critical to saving your vessel. This chart shows how your pump is quickly overwhelmed by a fairly small hole or breach. A 2” hole in your boat, only 1 foot below the waterline would fill a 55 gallon drum in 40 seconds. This is 3x what a many bilge pumps can handle. And lifting the water, or head height of the discharge makes a pump even less effective! Bilge pumps are for small amounts of “casual” water and cannot do the job. This is why TruPlug has saved boats.
