Ne0eN January 12, 2009 Share January 12, 2009 I'm looking for a small powerhead for a household project. What is the most compact, fully submersible pump that will have an output that can easily be connected to a 1/4" tubing? Thanks!! --Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks!! --Rob ----- Sounds like Micro-Jet 320 is the winner at 6W, 1.75" L x 1.5" W x 2.25" H Does anyone have one lying around so I can test it before ordering a new one?

jason the filter freak January 13, 2009 Share January 13, 2009 I'd look into a DC pump, check into a replacement pump/filter for the new R2-D2 fishtanks or the mini TOM aquatics filter/pump also a DC unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0eN January 14, 2009 Author Share January 14, 2009 And what might this project be that requires a small powerhead? Ummm, nothing related to fishkeeping. I'm trying to mod my whole-house by-pass humidifier to supply more moisture into the air. By design, it's supposed to 'wick' water from a bottom reservoir into a pad that the HVAC air is passing through. I find that to be very inefficient as at any time only the bottom 1/5th of the pad appears wet. What I want to do is to add a small powerhead that would pump the water from the reservoir back to the top of the pad and let it continuously flow soaking the pad to its maximum. The other option is to open up the water control solenoid and install a drain so that the water flows through it, but that wastes a ton of water. (I specifically bought a wicking humidifier to not waste water.) I suppose I could also use RO/DI waste water to run through the humidifier, but that could mock up the pad too quickly... --Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dschflier January 14, 2009 Share January 14, 2009 another place you can look is michaels. They have these very small water pumps for making small rock fountains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak January 14, 2009 Share January 14, 2009 I have a very small brand new (used for 30 secs of testing) that isn't going to work for my project. Its DC. and its about 1x2x1.5" ish. Let me know if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you want it. Do you have a pic? Does it have input and output or just output? Turns out I need something I can connect the input to so that I can insert a small house into the reservoir. I know I'm gonna have to prime it somehow... --Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jason the filter freak January 15, 2009 Share January 15, 2009 I could give it an Input with some super glue/weldon I also recently found an ac pump that must be 1"x.75"x.75" neither have an input but I'm confident I could make one for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
