Review on 🔬 INTLLAB Analytical Peristaltic Liquid Aquarium by Seth Gomez

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Cheap but works (after smashing)

Received this on time and in well protected packaging. I connected the pump to the power supply and cranked it up to 12V. The motor turned on, but the inner rollers didn't move until I messed with it a bit. The white case that the tube is in is quite flexible so I'm not sure how well the inside of the tube seals. I took one end of the tube and dipped it in water to test, but nothing happened. Nothing sucked. After playing around with it a bit I thought it was a waste of $10 and figured I'd kill it by cranking the power supply up to 24V for a while. The motor started to really spin and suddenly started sucking water. I lowered the voltage back down to 12v and the motor ran as it should, sucking in water and spitting it out the other end of the hose. I was able to spin the engine down to a low rpm after that and it still ran as it should. So, mine works now, but only after I overloaded it with the PSU. If you're looking for a cheap motor that you haven't invested too much in, this might work, but I'd probably look elsewhere.

Pros
  • pumps
Cons
  • dull packaging
