DC pump controller/power supply

[wilsonline]

I found a cheap DC Red Dragon for sale. But it doesn't have a controller. Probably a bad deal lol.
Anyway, I would like to know if I can just replace it with a new power supply for its voltage and current? Is there anythingmore complex like a capacitor that would be needed? Would an apex dc outlet run the pump?

if you know the voltage and current draw required, any power supply that will provide that will work.

No. You need a controller. There is probably an engineering video that might help understand why. More than I’m willing to type.

Thanks. So I'm not getting the pump. Would probably never be able to use it.
