High Efficiency Mini 12V Submersible Water Pump for Aquariums - Quiet and Powerful, 280L/H, 300cm Lift Review

I blew it up. I don't know much about these things, but this device comes with bare wires and no plug. Apparently DC, and it's written on the device. I connected a plug to the wires, put it in, and it exploded or burst. it's pretty well filmed now. Maybe it's the amp. I have no idea. In any case, instructions on how to hook it up to a power source would be welcome. Since I don't know what I'm doing, I improvise when the pump is already broken. If you're as knowledgeable about electricity as I…

I used this pump to circulate water in my 2.5 gallon fresh water tank. I am very happy with it. This is definitely the smallest submersible water pump I've come across and it packs a lot of power. In fact, the flow of water was so strong that it swept away my plants, like those trees in those videos of a devastating tropical storm. I ended up running a 12v 3.8v wall wart pump to tame it. The pump runs very quietly, probably due to the lower voltage. The supplied suction cups fix the pump…

I have mixed feelings about the pump, so pros + cons Pros: - pumps water well - quiet Cons: - there is no mechanism to prevent water flow if the pressure inside is too high is high (i.e. too much water) it will overflow through the outlet - in combination with the previous paragraph I had one end of the outlet in the bottom and if there is a seal with a pipe + bottom water and dirt will recede into the pump I caught it quickly and if you can install it without submerging it in the ground, it…

I've been using this pump for almost 2 months in a test system due to some negative feedback. The pump is fully submerged in water, bringing the water column to a height of approximately 1' and passing through 2 (3-way) heat exchangers that have approximately the same internal diameter as the pump's inlet/outlet connections. The total length of the pipes used is about 8 feet. I run the pump continuously for 24 hours, then turn the pump on for 1 hour, then turn it off for 1 hour for 24 hours…

Original review: This provided exactly the flow rate my fountain needed. Also, the wattage was low enough not to drain my solar panel and lipo batteries too much. A 20W Eco Worthy solar panel is around $28 and an Anself solar controller is around $15. There is a watt reserve versus watts consumed to ensure reliable flow with reserve power. This fountain came with a 115 VAC pump and worked perfectly. So why use solar energy? The fountain was moved to the other end of the walkway, which seemed…

I loved this pump and bought 2. I needed something small and low voltage to circulate water in two 10 gallon aquaponics for my sons (father son project). It was easy to set up, but once I started using it I realized I had to use a regular submersible. The pump was not self-priming. I had to suck on one end of the line each time to make it work. Once running, it moved the water well, but it definitely wasn't very quiet. I raised the water from the aquarium about 15 cm to the bed above and the…
