Another 12V pump

Cathar · 12-18-2003, 08:52 PM

This time it's a PD (positive displacement) pump

http://www.sailnet.com/store/item.cfm?pid=17167

4A @ 12V power draw
Continuously rated according to the manufacturer
Up to 45PSI pressure
3.4GPM at 0' head
Self-priming to 9' (2.7m)
Able to run dry without damage

All for a lazy $89.85

Interesting. Wonder how loud it is? The PD pumps in my lab deionization system are pretty noisy when running...

According to THIS pdf, it is only rated for intermittent duty...

Nice catch, nik.

I'd bet this pump is noisier than hell.

Nice specs though. Might be interesting to see what it can do at a lower voltage.

Oops - seems I've gotten it mixed up.

It's the Shurflo BaitMaster pump that's rated for continuous duty. Costs twice as much (~$170US).

It turns out that I was mis-informed. The retailer here told me that the "Blaster" was continuous duty rated, when in fact it isn't.

It's the BaitMaster that is.

I poked through the BaitMaster documents and it tells us that it's only continuous duty rated at pressures below 10PSI. Above 10PSI and it shouldn't be run for more than 20 minutes per hour.

That kinda puts a real dampener on the whole thing.

That, and many of the numbers don't seem to be adding up / agreeing with the on-line stores and the manufacturer's documents.

I've used pumps like that in showers on the back of yachts and such.

They are loud! but very powerful.

I looked at that one about a year ago (on my way to finding the Johnson CM30P7-1 I have now) but I rejected the continuous duty one because it is loud, vibrates like mad and is one big heavy sucker. No LAN portability in that one!
