Hey DNA,

I'm in the UK and I can't be bothered to order a PSU from outside the UK.

The only reason the PSU I have isn't suitable is (I'm assuming) it outputs varying DC. Luckily, I have an oscilloscope at work, so I'll see what its output is like.

Reading up a little on Regulated PSU's, it seems I just need to add a decent value capacitor to the output to smooth it enough for the pumps.

Any ideas if this is correct and if so, what value capacitor? I was thinking 2200uF. (guess)
