How does the pump system work? Does it need to plug into an outlet (electricity) or is it battery powered?

It plugs into the wall socket and uses very little electricity as far as I know. You have to make sure both filter and pump stays submerged, otherwise they will get ruined...I learned the hard way when I put the dish in storage for couple of weeks. The pump was completely moldy and useless afterwards and I had to buy another unit (still worth it, as it is very favorite kitties drinking well)

It plugs into an outlet. It uses a small fountain pump and charcoal filters which need to be replaced periodically. The fountain is pretty quiet. It is the only one my cats will use. Needs to be disassembled and cleaned every 2 weeks as a film will develop that the cats don't like. Water reservoir lasts about 3-4 days for 2 indoor cats. Hope this helps. I am on my second one. The first pump lasted about 6 years of 24/7 usage.

This is a breast pump that is capable of using batteries or plugging into an outlet. I used the battery pack a couple of times. It was a nice option two options.

It comes with a power supply,batteries can be done if you make the power connection but the drain would cost a lot of money. If you use it outside with the right weather proof box I used a solar panel with recharge batteries that work really good.

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, pump is included. The pump operates on standard 110/120 volts and uses a normal household outlet.

It has a built in pump that you plug in to an outlet. I don't see where you could possibly attach a battery operated pump.

Yes, each unit required to plug into electrical outlet. AC outlet only. AC adapter included. This is no battery operated because this unit is 24 hours standby.

The pump is electric. It takes a matter of maybe 30 seconds to a minute to inflate. It works very well!

Nope, it's just a battery pack to power the pump. You can use rechargeable batteries in it, but you still need a battery charger for them. I keep the battery pack with rechargeable batteries and the battery charger in my pump bag at all times.

Not an electric pump. The pump is built into the bed. All you have to do is step on it and it fills itself with air.

Yes and no The pump runs itself just off battery but, the charger that is hooked to household senses when the battery is discharging and recharges the battery if household power is available.

No batteries.. It needs power outlet... The near thing about it is the pump comes with two out puts. One for the filter and one for the bubbles.

The water valve have to be plugged in. The battery power option is more for backup in case of power outage. Can operate from a 12V battery but that have to be charged time to time, and have to be install by a electrician.

It has to stay plugged in via A/C power. It is not battery operated. It is loud. As loud as you would expect a 500 Watt motor. You'll get over it once you start to use it. It is a fantastic device. Never runs out of air. Never stops blowing at full power. Get's a little warm in your hands if you don't use the black handle and air escapes out every seam, but that is normal. Clearly an overbuilt device. It's awesome!!! Best to use it outdoors to clean things as it blasts dust and dirt all over the place!

It has a built-in power cord that requires an outlet. The cord is behind a removable slot. There is an on/off switch that turns on the motor when the power cord is plugged in. I'm sorry, the Queen was manual but I also purchased the twin later on and it had the electric pump.

it is electric. u could set it up as solor but would have to do it from the pump up. and as p anderson said it does put out more that what it needs to. i fixed this by have it run two fountains on the same pump. with a sock on the main and a valve on the second fountain works great. of coarse u have to set it up with the second fountain dumping into the main where the pump is at.
