On the case it says input 5-24v. Has anyone tried this with a 6v power supply? Could I use it to control a 6v water fountain pump? Or lights only?

6V is within the range of 5-24V, so it should be okay to drive it with a 6V power supply. If your fountain pump is running on a 6V DC power (not AC), then I would assumed that it will work fine.

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.

The only way I see it working with 24v is with a resistor. I've ordered them from the EQstore on eBay. You can just ground it to the battery source.

yes willie...how do i do to replaced pump with low voltage pump. it's too strong pump. i have probllem with water flash out on floor. thanks you for asking.

The one I put in was rated for 240vac at up to 10amps, normal running I am only drawing about 1.5amps and running at 1700rpmThis is a very quiet running pump, you have to be standing right next to it to hear it run, very happy with it. It was very easy to install if you know electricity at all, I have the veriable speed, which you can program easily to set minimum and maximum speeds, good instruction manual with it, draws way less electricity than old one.

Power supply reads. Input: 100-240v ~ 0.5A 50-60HzOutput 5V-2.6A Max 13wSo yes. Looks like it will switch to 220/240v on its own. (I use it on a 110 outlet).

The version I purchased works for a 12/24 volt system. I don't think that one would work for you 6 volt system. I guess it would report a low to medium when it was really full. Look for one designed for 6 volts. Additinally, some of these indicators allow a wider range of voltages.

This is a power supply and it has to regulate voltage from the start or it would destroy components. The voltage should never go above the set point voltage. Make sure you hook it up to power without your load on it to adjust the voltage.

It would supply the power sufficiently since you need 250 ma and this supplies 4x that much. The tip might be different than your fountain requires, in which case you would have to cut the wire and find the appropriate tip. I save all my tips from phones and other appliances so I can interchange them when necessary. However, it appears, there are at least two different tips in this particular package.

Base input is DC 6V. And the power supply that comes with it is 100-240VAC 150mA with US plug

I don't believe the -5V is necessary. It does not light up when I test a power supply See this article: http://pcsupport.about.com/od/insidethepc/a/atx-pinout-24-pin-12v-psu.htm Also, check the label on your PS to see if -5V is listed.

I've been running one for about a year now, no problems except I was using the load output to control some outside lighting (on at dusk, off at dawn) and it seemed to get confused and was turning the lights on and off randomly. I disconnected it and let it sit for a day and then reconnected it and it has been working correctly since. I am running a 100 WATT 12V panel into it, are you staying within the maximum input power and voltage levels (12v/260W or 24v/520W) specified?

I just tested it, and it does work. However, keep in mind it will be extremely dim. Not only that, but in my case it was constantly flickering (however, this could have been due to lack of amperage). To be safe and sure, I'd go for at least a 12v 3a power supply. For my setup (11 strings total outside), I this for power: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HARHN8 Which I hooked up to http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A46UAQO Using a single controller, with split outputs, for the colors.

have you measured the output voltage with a voltmeter? I have the 9v pump, and the 9v AC wall pack I measured outputs 12v (actually closer to 13vdc). If you actually try to run the pump on 9v it doesn't work as well. I am not sure what the acceptable voltage ranges are but you can run the pump safely on 12v. I actually have a power bank with 12v output that it runs for days on (http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VF6B8X6 its expensive, but you can get similar units on sale for pretty cheap and its a lot smaller and more useful than this silly pack).

No; Oprerating voltage is fixed for this type of electrical motors. Probally a 12V pump will burn out with 6V source and vice versa

mine only has 24v output. there is a small pot that can be used to adjust for fine tuning.

Since I forgot what the voltage was on my pump, I hooked it up to a variable transformer and it ran on a variety of voltages, including 6v and 12v. Of course, it ran faster at 12 volts...
