Xylem Blowers
About Xylem: A Global Leader in Water Technology
Xylem is one of the world's foremost water technology companies, designing and manufacturing engineered solutions that move, treat, test, and monitor water across virtually every application imaginable. Founded in 2011 as a spin-off from ITT Corporation, Xylem quickly established itself as a dedicated water solutions provider, drawing on a portfolio of brands with roots stretching back more than 150 years. Today, the company operates in more than 150 countries and employs roughly 23,000 people worldwide.
The name "Xylem" is derived from the Greek word for the plant tissue that transports water — an apt metaphor for a company whose core mission is moving and managing water efficiently and sustainably. That mission spans public utilities, industrial manufacturers, commercial buildings, agriculture, and the marine industry, making Xylem one of the rare brands that touches both municipal water infrastructure and the weekend boater's vessel.
Xylem's Marine Legacy: Rule & Jabsco
In the recreational and commercial marine world, Xylem is best known through two iconic sub-brands: Rule and Jabsco. Since 1965, the Rule brand has set the industry standard for submersible bilge pumps, and today it remains the most trusted name in marine bilge pumping around the globe. Whether you're managing bilge water on a small skiff or a large offshore yacht, Xylem's electric bilge pumps are engineered to deliver reliable, high-capacity water removal with features like thermal cut-off protection, backflow prevention, and automated water sensing.
Jabsco, meanwhile, brings decades of expertise to a wide range of marine fluid-handling challenges. From engine cooling and waste management to cabin ventilation, Jabsco products are engineered for the demanding conditions of life on the water. Xylem's marine blowers from the Jabsco line are purpose-built to remove fumes from engine compartments and provide air intake or extraction in galleys, bilges, and accommodation spaces — a critical safety function on any vessel.
Innovation, Sustainability, and Smart Water Solutions
Beyond the marine market, Xylem's broader portfolio includes heat exchangers, smart meters, HVAC components, and advanced analytics platforms used by utilities and industrial operators worldwide. The company has committed to ambitious sustainability goals, including science-based targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions — a reflection of its founding vision to enable responsible water use globally. For boaters and marine professionals, this commitment to innovation translates directly into products that are more efficient, longer-lasting, and safer than ever before.
Whether you're outfitting a new build, replacing a worn bilge pump, or upgrading your boat's ventilation system, Xylem's marine product lineup offers solutions backed by decades of engineering excellence and a global support network.
