Can you plug the pump into a wall outlet? Every review I've seen shows them hooking the pump up to a battery which I don't want to do.

I bought a 750 GPH fountain pump of which plugs in the wall. You can usually pick one up fairly cheap online.

Not out of the box, no. It is DC, not AC. I made the mistake of attaching it directly to a charger so that I could plug it in. Now my charger is burned out and I have to buy a new one. That's not the fault of the product, it was my fault for overdrawing the charger.Now I use a different pump that can plug into the wall, and will only use the pump it came with if I'm in the field.

No you can not, the pump that comes with he kit has alligator clips for a 12 volt battery. It is great because we take the bowl and set it up on the bank of the stream and having the battery hook up works well for this purpose.

Correct! you can hook up directly to a 12volt battery. It also(mine did)comes with a lighter plug as an extra option but i never use that...I just run it off of marine type batteries which i recharge when needed.

It does plug into a wall outlet without a problem. I leave mine plugged in order to have it charged at all times.

You can plug it into a wall outlet. It has an AC Power adapter. It can also work with batteries (separate compartment). Next question I will have to charge $500 per hour, good luck :)

It's a built-in pump. It just plugs into a wall outlet and doesn't need to be re-charged after every use.

The pump has no on / off switch. Bring a 6 'cable that plugs directly over the receptacle. I have it connected to a timer, it works perfect.

I am currently on my second pump. The first one gave out after several years, and the second one has been in use less than a year. I have it plugged into a 110v standard outlet and run it 24 hours a day 7 days a week and never have any problems. I run the pump from spring to fall, and take it out of the fountain during the winter months.

It needs a electrical outlet. The cord with the pump is about 4 feet long, although I have it plugged into an longer cord.

I doubt it. When you plugged it into a 220V receptacle, I imagine you ruined the pump pretty quickly but it's such a small pump, I can't imagine that anyone makes a comparable replacement that runs on 220V. Do you not have access to a 110/120V outlet?

Pump is designed to be plugged into outlet. You could purchase an adapter that you plug into your outlet in your car (old cigarette lighter area). I have one that accepts the electrical end of the pump and it works great.

You can plug it into any outlet. But i wouldn't buy it. It leaks and works poorly.

Yes, you can. The pump even comes with its own battery pack that you fill with 8 AA batteries. It's not as strong at the same level as when it's plugged into the wall socket but it does the job nicely at a slightly higher suction level. In addition, the batteries last for about 15 pumping sessions before you need to change them.

No. This unit is powered by a USB connection to a device (computer, etc.), not from a wall outlet.

The pump runs on electricity. It plugs into wall outlet and goes thru a transformer. I've had mine outside for almost a year with no problems.

My bed came with a pump that does need to be plugged into an electrical outlet. I don't know if there is an option for one that is battery operated. The bed inflated beautifully, is very comfortable, and deflated easily and we folded it and put it in it's carrying bag. I am very pleased.

Sheri. The pump needs electricity to run. You can have an electrician take electricity to it, though costly. Or, you can get a very heavy duty outdoor long extension cord. There's danger involved with that. I wouldn't turn on the filter that's on an electric extension cord and leave the house, or have children or animals near it when it is plugged in. Possible fire and or shock danger. IMO
