Does the pump run directly off of AC or does it use a DC power supply? If DC, what voltage? How much current does it draw?

If I remember ac it has a plug in but I don't exactly remember the volt use it dosnt last long my burned out in a week this is a bad pump and filters are hard to find I wouldn't buy this product several others had the same problem

it is a 110v pump. the plug has two stright blades and a ground pin(round). I have used mine for about a month with no problems.

I just installed one of these pumps and I used one, 100 watt panel wired directly to the pump. It operates just fine, only runs when the sun is just right on the panel but where I am in Calif. it operates for about 4 hours this time of year and probably will run longer in the summer. It also pumps about 1.6 gal. per min. which is very adequate for my use. The 4 amp at 24 volts is the max amount of amps that the pump will handle.. I think my panel put out a max of 2.6 amps. Hope this helps. I opted not to use batteries, just more upkeep and expense.

I use this pump as a pressure pump/ I use 2 9watt panels to charge 2 12volt deep cell batteries, (through a regulator). The batteries are wired in series to provide 24volts to the pump on demand, day or night. This pump has been in service since October. So far so good.

The pump is turned on and off by switch. Looking at the picture, its the black rubber area. I cant remember if the unit had a 12v car adapter? It's battery powered as far as I remember

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.

This pump does not use power. It is a hydraulic style pump it uses the pressure of the brine water to pump the permeate water. You must connect brine water for the pump to operate.

You're going to need a 110V - 12V adapter that has a cigarette lighter outlet. You can find them on amazon, but you don't want to cheap out on the adapter. The power usage isn't listed on the pump description, but an educated guess suggests you might need an adapter that can pump out 6 or 7 amps. Motors are power-hungry, unlike 12v electronic devices. If it's occasional 110v usage fine, but if you're using it all the time on 110v, you're better off getting a pump that plugs into the wall.

No, and yes. They are hooked up to the battery, and then a charger constantly charges the batteries. So it will work if the power is on and your other pump dies. It just operates by a float switch that you place higher than the main pump float switch. It doesn't run directly off of AC power but if it is getting used and the power is on, the battery will be getting replenished. If you had a real heavy flow for a long time then I'm not sure the charger would keep up and the battery might exhaust. But yes, it can act as a sort of failsafe if the main pump seizes and the power is still on. It doesn't require that the power is off in order to work.

Excellent question. It comes with a pump that is battery operated. Since it doesn't run by electricity, I would guess a battery charger would not work unless possibly if the batteries need recharged.

Yes, The pump comes with an ac adapter that can be plugged directly into a wall outlet. The cord is not incredibly long, although it reaches across the width of my queen size bed. That's all I needed. The battery pack is sold separately, and is great for pumping when you travel or for pumping in areas with no outlet available. For example, your workplace may have a room for you to pump, but the outlet may be inconveniently placed in proximity to your chair.

It is powered by a 12v transformer on the plug from the normal 220v outlet. Just so you know, my lights lasted eight minutes and then stopped working and the pump lasted a day. This is not a great product.

in reality it draws about 30 watts dc or about 2 1/2 amps dc i turn it off when not using it.....

This cable will provide 5 Volts DC from USB. The label on the power adapter for this pump specifies 5.5 to 12 Volts. I think you'd not draw enough power to run the pump from a USB port.

Yes, it's a backup pump that runs off a 12 volt deep cycle battery. It has a charger built into it to keep your battery charged and a alarm to tell you that you lost power to to the AC pump.

This may be better answered by the supplier, however this is the pump I received. Hated it. Spend your money on an electric one if you can. This thing did nothing.

It comes with a 12 vdc power supply that plugs into a 110 vac outlet. It can run on a battery but will take .5 amp during night operations.
