## Description

A small submersible DC water pump for fountains, plant-watering systems, and other beginner projects. The pump draws water in from the side of the plastic casing and pushes it out through the tubing port. It runs on 3 V and draws approximately 100 mA, making it easy to drive from a microcontroller with a transistor or motor driver such as the L293D. The flow rate can be adjusted using PWM. The pump must remain submerged (primed) during operation — it is not self-priming, and reversing polarity does not create suction. Key Features Submersible Design – Must remain underwater during operation Low Voltage – Operates on 3 V DC Low Current – Approximately 100 mA draw PWM Compatible – Adjust flow rate with pulse-width modulation Vertical Orientation – Water inlet on the side, outlet on top Specifications Voltage – 3 V DC Current – ~100 mA Type – Vertical, submersible Ideal For Small fountains and water features Automated plant watering projects Student and art installations Arduino and microcontroller projects Package Contents 1× Submersible water pump with power wires Note: Tubing is not included. This pump is not food-safe and is not rated for drinking water. Best suited for short-term and experimental use.
