How many amps does the pump draw?
1283486
It runs on 12 volts of power from a boat or auto cigarette lighter. I don't know how many amps. Will inflate a large tube very quickly. It will also quickly deflate a swim tube.

Airhead's website lists current draw at 11.8A/145W (http://www.airhead.com/12v-air-pump.html). This is a maximum rating (reached at max pressure), so most of the time current/power draw will be significantly lower.

Hooked it up to the car. Used between 5.5 and 6 amps. With the car on it went up to 7 amps. I have an "average" car battery and alternator. Other setups will cause different amps. At 7 amps you may note that it is about 75 watts.

I plugged this into a 12V (3-cell LiPo) battery and measured current draw. It was taking 75Watts at 11.7Volts, so about 6.4Amps. In a running car the air pump will draw slightly more current, but not enough to overwhelm your charging system. If you have a smaller engine just turn off the headlights, it'll be fine.

I don't have a current meter on this but it would not work with my car or a 1amp power supply I have. It did work when connected to the 12v accessory plug (cigarette lighter) in my truck and boat.

There are two bare wires (red and black color) that you can just hook up to a battery. The pump draws very little amperage

The best I can tell you is the amperage used for this pump will vary depending on the psi the unit is set at. At maximum psi (50), it will draw 10.6 Amps, 9.6 Amps at 40 psi, etc.

I believe it said 7 amps. fixed in a hole now so can not pull out and double check. Really shoots the water. I use it for are large kio pond.

With my pump running at 3000 rpm it shows I am using just under 900 watts. Hope that helped

I'm using mine on a pool pump. My 1 HP pump draws 15 amps. The way I read the ratings on the timer is; it is rated for using both outlets at the same time. I am only using one outlet and it has been working fine for a couple of weeks now.

I have had my pump at least 2 years now. I live in a RV and about 1 X a week I use the pump. It is good. I would say around 20 Amps but I have never measured. I know that as the amps increase the pump does better

I don't know how many amps, however, it is more powerful than others that I have used. It still isn't quite as powerful as I would like, but better than most.

I think it is 1/6 horse power, I never put a amp draw gage on it, so I am going by the manufactures specs.they seem to reliable pumps, I have ran them in my stock tanks to keep the water moving so the water did not freeze during the winter and they have ran 24/7 for a few winter and bought more pumps for last year,

110vac. Just plug it in.I would guess that the 'lift' info would be found in the pump specs.

Depends. Are you running it 115V or 230V. The pump is 1.5 hp. 1 hp = 745.7 watts. V x A = W or volts times amps = watts. 745.7 times 1.5 hp = 1118.5 1118.5w/230V = 4.86A 1118.5/115 = 9.73A Take your pick.

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.
1477488
the total current draw should not exceed 15amps. if the pump is used in conjunction with other components, oveload current protection (ffuse or curcuit breaker) and wire size for the total amps requirements of all devices on the circuit.John Butler

Absolutely not! Pool pumps draw 20 to 30 amps and need to be on a dedicated line.

Mine uses 120V. You might want to contact Little Giant Pump to see if they make a 220V model.

It says 1.4 amps @ 115 volts on the pump I have. I believe that is 161 Watts or .161 kW

It is electric heat pump requiring a 20 amp breaker and draws between 10 and 12 amps at full load.
