can I use this to power a 6 watt fountain pump?

You would need at least 2 panels of this size and it would only work in direct full sunlight during daylight hours. For 24 hour operation, you would need about 4 -5 (or a larger 20-30 watt panel) panels of this size and a deep cycle storage battery and a charge controller.

I would think that 12volts would cause the 6v motor to over spin and decrease it's life significantly. 12v will cause it to turn, very fast, but probably not for long. If you hooked 2 6v batteries together. .. charger positive to battery A positive, battery A negative to battery B positive, battery B negative to the charger negative for a 12v system. You can hook your 6v motor to ONE of the 6v batteries to run your pump. It may shorten the life of the battery. The solar panel will not run the motor without a battery, and probably will not keep the battery charged up if the motor runs constantly.

It just ran a small fountain. Turned it on in the morning, off in the evening. I don't know the wattage on the pump, but I'm sure it's not very much. It ran well when it worked, but it should last longer than a year.

No you cannot use this inverter. This inverter is not to be used for anything intended to produce heat ie kettle. Do not use for anything above 200 watts

No, or at least not well. This unit would be massively underpowered. find out how many watts your old power supply was running. then add a minimum of 200 more. look for bronze, silver or gold in the title. take a hard earned lesson from me and don't cheap out on your power supply.

It could, but this is such a tiny pump that it would only be good for a tabletop fountain. You would need to make sure that the plug would not be exposed to the elements.

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps. Good luck :) L

As long as the total load is less than 500W. The wattage of typical 6ft tube is between 50-60W. So it can handle up to about 8 of 6ft tube.

It depends on how much current the pump draws. If it's less then 5.8 amps, it should be good.

yes do run a pond pump i use one the other day to empty a fish pond with a 6oo watts pond pump

John- The power requirements are 110v grounded GFCI circuit. But I really can't recommend this product for any reason. I had it providing water flow for a medium size fountain/waterfall for about three hours a day and the Beckett pump only lasted a few months.

It will certainly power a sump pump but length of time will depend on the draw and the capacity of the unit. Should be able to figure it out.

Any DC supply from 6V to 12V can be connected. At 12V, it draws about 200mA current.

If these pumps are 12V, what do you need this PSU for? Just buy a suitable 12VDC power brick and be done with it. Adding this into the mix is unnecessary, assuming that you've described the intended application correctly.

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.

Depends on how much wattage the hot water tank needs (VOLTSxAMPS)=WATTS. Also, don't expect to get the full 400W out of this unit.

No you don't want to do this primarilly because it's made to be submurged in water to cool it. If use out if water it will break. Also it's 12 volt. It will light with 6 volt but won't be anywhere near as bright as a 12 volt feed.

It is not a pump, it is an AC converter. If you have a 110 volt AC pump that is less than 150 watts, it should work.
