In this week's product update, we've got the perfect lines for those that want to make projects that require moving water, or air, from one place to another. Great for fish tanks, water features or automated watering systems.

Although the pumps are supplied with 1M of silicone tube, we also stock additional tubing in 5M lengths to cover those projects that require a little more. Both the pump and the additional silicone tubing are available to order in the shop now.  

Product Update Diaphragm Pump:

  Possible uses/projects include; a small aquarium pump, automatic plant watering system, making a water feature or music activated dancing water features to name but a few. when pumping a liquid the pump runs very quietly. The pump is also capable of pumping air, though when pumping air the pump is noisier, in comparison. The pump requires between 6 - 12V DC and between 0.5 - 0.7A and will deliver its maximum operating values when power is at the upper end of these ranges.
