Asked employee at harbor freight where there water pumps were and whether it was my fault or his I don't remember but anyway I saw this particular pump, Pacific HydroStar Bilge Pump 1000GPG"

As you can see it's a nice little pump for water changes because it pumps from the bottom.

However it appears to be for a vehicle or a boat.

My first two years were EE in college so I do have some basic knowledge but 6A can be quite a bit of current. Let me know what you think about wiring the 6A AC to DC power supply!

If not, best pump for leaving in bucket of fresh rodi and turning on and getting a good flow every time !

Thank you!!!!
