What is the watt output of this pump so I know what DC to AC power inverter I need to buy? I will be camping with no wall outlet.

it is a regular 2 prong plug i guess 110 maybe i have it hooked into the wall outlet in my room.

I think it depends oo the outlet used for example a 220 volt outlet for a dryer or electric stove. Ii remember.buyin speakers & they advertixed.for ex 200 amps per channel from the amplifier . But Idont no about watts. DC Is direct. Current & AC is alternate current. Do if u don't have a PLUG IN place (outlet) u can't get direct current. So that leaves as it says, alternate current AC. Ie; maby a car battery.

Home Depot rates it as 40 watts, however, they are also charging $250! I have also seen 65 watts quoted but I couldn't find the link. I think you will be safe with 65 watts. Great for boats and RVs as it should run off an inverter.

No. That air pump draws 1.45 amps, or 120v x 1.45a = 175 watts. This inverter would go into overload protection mode and shut down.

find out what is the amps the pump will draw and get a converter of that value or larger. I believe most any battery charger would power this pump also for a temporary set up.

Michelle your would have to look at the watts on the AC unit. ? And I could give u better answer This inverter is really a great unit but keep in mind battery. I tested it out and run a portable ac for 5 minutes on 1 fully charge battery. It worked great. My battery bank at the moment has 4 batterys links to solar panels AC unit would upto 30 minutes on what I have. Hope that helps you Inverter great. But you need a lot of batteries to run power drain units like AC Units

This pump plugs directly into a 110 volt outlet, it has no transformer therefore is not considered low-wattage.

You're going to need a 110V - 12V adapter that has a cigarette lighter outlet. You can find them on amazon, but you don't want to cheap out on the adapter. The power usage isn't listed on the pump description, but an educated guess suggests you might need an adapter that can pump out 6 or 7 amps. Motors are power-hungry, unlike 12v electronic devices. If it's occasional 110v usage fine, but if you're using it all the time on 110v, you're better off getting a pump that plugs into the wall.

I have the same setup on my travel trailer - two Trojan 6 volt in series, for 12 volts total. Just took it camping this weekend, with no hookups and went 3 days without having to run a generator. We used a small laptop, our house water pump, fridge, and furnace ran all three nights as well. Something to keep in mind is that all of my lights have been switched to led, and it was only slightly cloudy for us. I never bothered to check my actual voltage, but my stock wall meter was typically at 1/2 to 3/4 in the a.m., and full by sunset. Hope this helps

yes the 3500 Watt w Pure Sine Wave portable inverter is very quite. we use it during hunting season at the camp it works well. love it.

You will need a power inverter, solar panels, cabling, fuse, and batteries. Everything depends on the power needed by the pump and where the inverter and batteries will be located. I recommend watching youtube videos on the subject before spending a dime.

I am not sure on you question, but it runs on 110-120 volt outlet. As far as the usage I would just base it off of the specs of the pump rating. I do run the pump 24:7 and it is not to noticeable on my electric bill.

Assuming there is a constant 12 volt direct source, the pump is going to draw 3 to 5 amps. amps x volts = watts. At 5 amps that would be 60 watts. With a battery in line it would work. Straight off a 50 watt solar panel probably not so well.

It powers 700-800 watts of stuff in our camper. I guess at 110 volts that comes to (750/110) about 7 amps.

The simple answer is NO. 10A X 120V = 1200 Watts. This unit is rated at ~400W? Assuming only 90% efficiency of most inverters, you want one that is rated at 1200+10%+ another 20% for good measure. As a practical matter and since the price of these has come down significantly in recent years due to advances in the technology, I suggest doubling your base requirement. IOW, buy a 2400Watt inverter. IMPORTANT! Your 10Amp pump will 'pull' about 100A+! from your DC source. You would need a substantial battery bank for that.

You can use either power supply ac/or dc with this product, because it comes with an adapter to do both. I guess if you needed it on your boat or camper you could do so with no problem.

This pump requires a cigarette lighter-type 12VDC power receptacle. We take a portable "jump starter" when camping and use it to power the inflator when blowing up the airbeds. If you are going to use it strictly in the home, I would grab an 120VAC version like the one at this link. Coleman 120V Electric Quick Pump, Colors May Vary

I ran my pump off of my camper batteries (12 volts) using rather heavy duty jumper cables several years ago. I don't know how much current it draws, but as I recall, the pump has a thermal overload or fuse, maybe both, but check the manual. On the other hand, if you intend to supply the operating current with a "jumper box" capable of delivering 15 amps, it's output is probably protected by a fuse or breaker as well. Check it's manual to be sure. If it is protected, I would suggest you try to run the pump with the jumper box. It may overload the jumper box, but it won't be a short. I suspect that the pump will draw less than 15 amps. I ran my pump off of my camper batteries (12 volts) using rather heavy duty jumper cables several years ago.
