Does anyone know how many amps each one of these pumps draws?
Does anyone know how many amps each one of these pumps draws?
On the instructions I received it says min start-up power consumption less than 2 watts. Also that it's rated at 12VDC
So I grabbed a phone charger or some kind of power source from Savers the other day on a whim while not really thinking about it. It's output is 12VAC, 1.25A. I don't know much if anything about electronics but the pump is 12VDC so does that mean I need a DC source? Don't want to mess anything up trying to power up this little guy
Should be alright. As long as it's not lieing about the specs.
I trust Amazon a whole lot more than anything on ebay.
I'd also like to see how others are mounting their pumps. I use mine inline with a BIAB setup, but I've had problems with priming and am thinking that it should be mounted below my kettle like most people have their March pumps.
I don't see how your having priming issues. Your probably pumping steam from boiling water. With that config u should not have any issues with priming.i would recommend though that you have you hose or your pump outlet 90 up so any air that may be trapped in there can get out naturally.
It's hard to see, but's kind of hovering over the table there and is not being supported by the table. That said, I could easily shim underneath it to add support.Just use a bl camlock with the 90 on the hose. It looks like you have the pump supported by the table there.
