12v pump - power head
 

I saw a 12v powerhead advertised on the internet but now I can't find it.
Does anyone know of a company that produces one. 12v is a requirement. Flow
is not that important, I am using it for a top-off system

Thanks

You can buy a belge pump in any marine hardware store. I have even
seen them in the fishing dept of a walmart. You should be able to find
one for around $20.00-$30.00. Try a search for belge pump. I use one
for my water changes to pump the new water into the tank. I use a
portable batter jumper for the power source. Theyu pump as fast as
most power heads

A bilge pump is overkill for what I want to do. I am using it in an
automatic water top-off system. I only need to pump about 1 cup once every
12 hrs.

The size of the bilge pumps require a pretty hefty power supply. I plan on
using a 12VDC wall transformer that only puts out about 500 ma.

I actually saw one on the shelf a long time ago, should have
bought it. I have subsequently tried to find one, and it seems
to be no where.

Here are some small pumps, kind of pricey.

Just curious, why is 12 volts required? Is it because you want
to run it through a float switch located in the sump or tank? If
so, use the 12v and the float switch to operate a 12v relay. Use
the relay to run a standard 110v power head. It will be much less
frustrating in the long run.
