About:
This 12V water pump is self-priming, draws 6 amps, and features a built-in pressure switch set to 9 bar. In South Africa, it is commonly used for off-grid applications such as water storage, caravan or camper van water supply, boating, and as a pressure booster pump. It is also suitable for portable solutions like car wash sprayers and DIY projects requiring water transfer. For applications like portable gas geysers, caravan/camper van plumbing, or drip irrigation systems that need a maximum pressure lower than 9 bar, we recommend considering this 12V water pump.
Key Features:
- Automatic pump pressure switch set at 6 bar (130 PSI)
- Operates on 6A current, ideal for 12V batteries
- Sealed pump body and switch to prevent moisture and dust ingress, with electro-coating for corrosion resistance
- Versatile applications: freshwater circulation in campers, solar water systems, drip irrigation, fish tanks, hydroponics, and aquaponics
- Reliable operation in wet environments when installed correctly
- Can be installed above the water tank (self-priming)
- Not recommended for continuous operation for several hours
