Gikfun AE1207 12V DC Peristaltic Dosing Pump with Connector - Ideal for Arduino Aquarium, Lab Analysis, DIY Projects Review

Quiet, no back flow and works as expected! I was concerned about the build quality at this price point, but if you want to experiment with peristaltic pumps this is a great option to try. for this type of application

I replaced the tube with a slightly larger tube (4mm I think 2mm ID) and set it for intermittent water with a float switch. The float switch failed and this pump ran dry for about a month. During that time he rubbed a hole in the hose but when I checked the engine was still running as if nothing had happened. Of everything in my system, the motor and bearing of this dosing pump would be the last to fail: a good product.

I have this motor that pulls liquid hand washing soap as part of a science fair project for my kid. It works great on a 12v battery and the soap that comes out is just perfect for my project. Tip: The pipe used for the aquarium air filter is perfect for this! So visit the pet shop and pick up the phone there! You won't find it in any hardware store. A few things I would ask the seller for would make it a BEST.1. Can you put an arrow symbol to determine which way is in and which way is out? 2…

The silicone tubing on all my pumps ruptured and leaked within 2 weeks of purchase. Luckily my application is for feed water and the pump tube is easy to replace otherwise I would have returned them and given them a lower rating. At 12 VDC, the actual flow rate (no ramp) is closer to 6070 mL/min. The suction is strong enough to maintain that flow rate with my 50mm lift setup. Overall I'm satisfied, I would only recommend buyers to have spare silicone hoses with 4mm OD and 2mm ID on hand. *Note.

Arrived quickly, safe and sound. The pump is very quiet and seems to work very well. I pumped out 1 gallon of water using a 10ft pipe (too much, just for testing). Based on a flow rate of 100 mL/min, it should take approximately 25 minutes to pump a gallon. Took me about an hour, but there have been incidents (the hose hasn't been submerged in water for a while, etc.), so I think it should work roughly as advertised, non-stop. I use it for wine making so I'm wondering if the pipes are ok (in…
