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.

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

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
