How many watts does the pump use? I would like to know so I can purchase the correct wattage inverter for camping use.

The bed has a regular plug, on the pump it says 120w 160v I just plug it in a reg plugin. Hope this is the answer you were looking for. And also the bed is awesome.

Hi Mary, we used a pump. We used an electric one that we plunged into an outlet. I believe it was a Coleman? Our battery one wasn't that strong. We pumped it up at the camp then carried it down to the lake.

Looks like 1.66 amps based on dividing the pump's watts of 199 by household current (volts) of 120 which equal 1.6583333333 amps. I used the following web address for the Watts to Amps calculation: http://www.rapidtables.com/calc/electric/Watt_to_Amp_Calculator.htm

We use the "Wagan 5 Amp AC to 12V DC Power Adapter" with this coleman pump and it works great.

Well first I need to know how many watts the pool pump uses (it will either state the watts, or say how many volts & amps it requires. Amps x volts = watts). Next question, how many hours a day do you want to power the pump? 24 hrs a day? Answer those questions and I can tell you what all you need.

I can run a 750W fan heater from mine, but since my inverter is installed in a Prius the small 12V battery (30 amp-hour) won't power it alone and needs charging from the Prius. Tripplite recommends two 75 amp hour batteries for a sump pump. YMMV

Specs say "Rated Power:75w,Max Power: 100w,Peak power: 200w". Look at the input for the ...somewhere on the plug/wire/back of pump it should have a Volt and Amp rating. Multiply the volts X amps. This gives you a rough estimate of "watts".

Assuming there is a constant 12 volt direct source, the pump is going to draw 3 to 5 amps. amps x volts = watts. At 5 amps that would be 60 watts. With a battery in line it would work. Straight off a 50 watt solar panel probably not so well.

yes the 3500 Watt w Pure Sine Wave portable inverter is very quite. we use it during hunting season at the camp it works well. love it.

yes - we use a 12 volt pump when camping. But not with this - it leaked after one use. I would not recommend it.

The simple answer is NO. 10A X 120V = 1200 Watts. This unit is rated at ~400W? Assuming only 90% efficiency of most inverters, you want one that is rated at 1200+10%+ another 20% for good measure. As a practical matter and since the price of these has come down significantly in recent years due to advances in the technology, I suggest doubling your base requirement. IOW, buy a 2400Watt inverter. IMPORTANT! Your 10Amp pump will 'pull' about 100A+! from your DC source. You would need a substantial battery bank for that.

I have the same pumps on my ranch and I use two 12 volt (135watts) solar panels wired in series plus a 12/24 volt regulator you can buy for about 11.00 on ebay. I operate eight of these pumps at range of 110 to 180 feet and they work very well

find out what is the amps the pump will draw and get a converter of that value or larger. I believe most any battery charger would power this pump also for a temporary set up.

The pump is 12 volts and it comes with a 120 volt power source that draws 2 watts, not amps. Two watts is about 1/20 of an amp. It draws less current than a night light.

I haven't put a multimeter on it yet, planning to do that next time we go camping. The manufacturers literature lists maximum output as 7 watts and 467 mAh. I'll update this when I get real life figures.

We just got a Coleman electric pump at Walmart and it worked perfectly!! I think it was a 12V. It costs about $20

300 watts of solar panels to charge the batteries and run the pump. 4 group 24 deep cycle should due and a 30 amp charger. also there have been problems with pump and i have one go out after just three months. so you might look at another pump
