- Working voltage: DC 6-12V
- Power: less than 6W, Maximum flow: 1.5-1.8L/Min
- Pump head: 5 meters, pump suction: 1.5 meters (test with water)
- The design of the silicone case has a fixed effect, and mainly plays the role of shockproof and silent.
- Micro self-priming pumps are widely used in home appliances, medical care, models, aquarium equipment, etc., mainly to achieve functions such as pumping water and cold water circulation.
- The pump provides a smooth flow over all operating ranges. It also has a self-priming function that allows it to work quietly in the application. The pump can run idling for 30 minutes. When we are doing destructive work, the continuous pumping time can reach more than 1000 hours.
Performance:
- No blockage
- Explosion-proof
- Corrosion-resistant
- Wear-resistant
- Hygienic
- No leakage
High quality silicone case
- Users can also adjust the supply voltage according to their own conditions (you can lower the supply voltage, it is not recommended to increase) to reduce the current and flow rate. if the voltage is adjusted to 6V, the flow rate will be around 600ml/min, and the service life will be better.
- When using the silicone fixing sleeve, do not block the motor cooling holes, so as not to affect the heat dissipation and service life!

I bought this pump for circulating water circulating water through a liquid heat sink. I did not check the performance in term of flow, suction and pressure in regard with the technical specs, but I found it perfect. The flow can be adjusted by varying the voltage, and I found it very silent when used at 9-10V instead of 12V. Could connect easily silicone tubing 5mm internal diameter. I bought a second one.

This fit perfectly in my water dispenser and saved me a ton of money instead of replacing the whole appliance. Came with all the hardware needed to swap them out!

I have a solar setup on our home that has a storage battery bank. I have to periodically fill each cell on the many batteries. I had been using gallon jugs, and a funnel. While this works, it's slow.I rigged up a switch, alligator clips for power, and some tubing to the 12V pump. I can put the input line into a 5 gallon water jug, and simply point the outlet tube to the battery cell opening. Press a button, and it quickly tops off the batteries. This is much more efficient than the old method.

The product description said this pump was powered by an electric cord. The pump arrived without a power cord. It is of no use to me with no way to connect power to it. I will be returning the item if a power cord does not arrive soon.

These are poorly designed using inferior materials and craftsmanship. They start leaking after about 4 months. Even though I'm using this for about 15 seconds every hour at about 50% power. As you can see in the photograph it leaks into the motor section and since there's no seal there it just leaks everywhere as long as it's turned on. If I work for the company that manufactured these I would be embarrassed.This does not nor does it claim to come with a power cord. This is a non-issue.The pump body uses mild steel screws. THESE WILL RUST if using this for water.DON'T use this for tropical fish that are sensitive to iron in the water. Certain species of fish and inverts can not tolerate iron in the water. Avoid these pumps.Manufacturer, please consider using stainless steel or even better, external clips to attach these pump heads to the motor.

I was looking for a small self-priming pump to move homebrewed beer around fermenters, kegs, bottles, etc. This pump from Gikfun looked like it would meet my needs well. It arrived in good order in a plain, small but stout cardboard box. Two soft silicone mounts were included and installed on the pump. Electrical connections were via soldered tabs.This little pump is rated at 1.5 to 1.8 gallons/min and so should transfer 6 gallons of beer in less than 4 minutes – which is much faster than I get from a siphon. I checked out the pump electrically while pumping water with no head and found that it drew about 350mA at 12V. The pumping speed at 12V was 0.55 gallons/min through 6ft of ¼” silicone tubing. This is a lot slower than the rated flow rate, but it could be the length of the tubing that caused this reduction. This is still fast enough for my purposes.I then connected it to an LED dimmer control box to see if I could control the pump speed – see the photo below. Note the fly-back diode connected across the controller output to protect the internal MOSFET driver from the back-EMF from the motor’s inductive load. This circuit worked very well, and I was able to adjust the flow of liquid from its full speed down to just a small trickle.The soft rubbery mounting worked well and kept the vibrations and noise to a minimum while the pump was running.One concern I had with this sort of pump was that there may be a lot of internal turbulence causing significant air to be dissolved in the beer. The pump was very efficient at pushing out the air on start-up and, after this, I saw no bubbles in the liquid flow-stream.A second concern was with the shape of the pump inlet and outlet ports on the pump. These were tapered towards their ends – see photo. I was worried that tubing would just pop off these ports and I think that would be likely with firmer tubing like PVC, polyurethane, polypropylene, etc. With soft ¼” silicone tubing this was not a problem as long as the tubing was fitted to the ports when all was dry.Gikfun seems to offer two versions of this pump. This is the long-life version with a claimed lifetime of 1000 hours. This sounds a lot but it’s not really – it’s just over 40 days of continual use. The description on Amazon recommends that it’s not used for more than 30 minutes continuously (presumably it will get hot). So, this pump is designed just for fairly short jobs and shouldn’t be used for continuous purposes like small fountains or aquarium filters. For homebrewing purposes, intermittent use is not a problem.This a small but useful utility pump that does the job and does it well. It’s not designed for continuous use and doesn’t connect well with firm tubing. The flow rates I experienced were a lot less than those specified in the Amazon listing but good enough for me.

I have been using this pump for a few weeks. So far it is working well.I had to drill 4 small holes in the side of the dispenser cabinet to mount it.I needed a unit with the pump & motor assembly mounted horizontally and with the water connections vertical. I didn't see one like this on Amazon.caNOTE: This pump has tapered hose connections without ridges to secure the tubing.This probably allows for different tubing I.D.s, but I was concerned about the hoses sliding off the pump's input and output connections.It was a bit of DIY project to mount it in our water dispenser. I used four # 6 stainless screws and Nylox locking nuts. The pump is mounted vertically, with the tubing connections pointing down.Hope this is helpful.

You can see from my picture that the plastic wasn’t molded correct and the material that wash machined wasn’t cleaned up very well, but overall it’s the same part. Keep in mind that this pump does not have barbed plastic connects so I’m not really sure how to connect it to hosing other than using clamps, which do not come with the actual pump. Also the power supply is something you will need to bring yourself, and the terminals for power are directly exposed, not great for wet environments. Expect a project to use this thing without additional parts.

Since this pump is small, self-priming, and runs on 6-12VDC it's perfect for our kids science experiments. He loves connecting tubes to lab style containers and just making a big wet mess with food coloring swirling around in the apparatus.This would also be nice for a small water fountain craft project.This pump seems well made, and it's effective for moving water!

Hubby asked me to keep my eyes open for a small little self-priming pump, so when I saw this, I ordered. Now, what I know about pumps is absolutely nothing, but Hubby is delighted. He always has some project going, and right now it is hauling water for everything but drinking while our well pump is being repaired. He uses it to transfer water from large to smaller containers. What will he use it for next? I have no idea, but he was delighted to receive it and spent about 20 minutes going through every aspect and occasionally giggling. The cost was low, it works just like the description says, and I wish I could be more specific. If you have a loved one or a friend who tinkers and invents and builds secret projects, consider one of these as a gift. Christmas is coming, and this would be a great stocking stuffer as it is very small, but oh so powerful, considering. Hubby is happy, so I am happy.
