I live on Vancouver Island… it rains a lot here. This rain supports our beautiful rain forests, but it also collects in dragon boats… I figure the average 12m boat will hold about 400 gallons (but who’s counting?), and, more to the point, require a lot of bailing. (I wonder how many 1-gallon detergent containers with their bottoms cut off are in use today as bailers?)
This time of year (that would be “winter”), we get a lot of rain, and those of us with boats in the water devote a lot of our time to bailing out the boats.
No more! Thanks to “Charge’n'Flow,” a neat submersible 180 GPH pump, bailing dragon boats is no longer a physical exercise.
Huah!
This pump is easy to use… first submerge the pump in the water, then plug it in to the battery and it does the rest.
- Charge’n'Flow Battery Unit
After bailing out boats for several years, I found it easy to adapt and move on – this pump makes the job easy, because all you have to do is sit and watch… a solution that fits comfortably into my lifestyle 
It may not look like much, but this mighty little pump will move up to 90 gallons of water in 30 minutes… that, my friends, is my kind of tool
