Any small pump should work OK. I use a tiny and dirt cheap fountain pump that came with a birdbath we used to have! ;Hilarious

Awesome i got the JBJ handed down from another reefer only has 1 sensor but i know JBJ has the 3 minute safety sensor built in the machine so shouldnt be an issue im going to make an plexiglass square box with a nice little lid with a hole for the holes so i dont get my cat drinking it haha
