Sense the water
Automatic detection starts water removal when collected water is present and sufficient power is available.
About RainTaker
It started with rainwater collecting in our own boat. And a simple goal: less time bailing, more time on the water.

Embracing the boating lifestyle
For the past 20 years, we have enjoyed the year-round boating opportunities that the east coast of the United States offers. From the stunning coastal waters to the expansive inland lakes, there’s no shortage of beautiful places to enjoy your boat.
Weekdays were for work, Weekends were for the boat.
In 2022, we decided to put our team together to produce the Raintaker® Solar Bilge Pump System to solve our rain issues and protect our Zodiac when we were away. Every Raintaker® is built in our automation shop and thoroughly tested in our controlled testing facility.

From industrial automation to marine innovation
Our journey began two decades ago in the industrial automation field. We specialize in industrial process automation, solving problems that hinder production efficiency. This includes flow measurement / calibration and FDA material compatibility with sanitary food processes.
The birth of RainTaker
We incorporated some of the things we learned in our process automation business to create the Raintaker® from the ground up. From internal solid-state sensors, sealed construction and UV stable materials to the programming of our custom pump sets and efficient solar charging.
Join us on this journey as we continue to innovate and enhance the boating experience for all. With the Raintaker®, you can spend more time enjoying the water and less time worrying about the rain.
Explore the engineeringBuilt and tested in our own shop
Each RainTaker system is built in our automation shop and tested in our controlled testing facility.
The setup matters too. Where water collects, how the hose is routed and where the panel sees daylight all affect how a system works in your boat.

What the system is built to do
See how it worksCarry the power
The system has its own battery reserve. A permanent connection to the boat’s house bank is not required.
Replenish the charge
Solar charging restores stored energy as daylight allows. Pumping uses the battery, including after dark.
