Generic cheap dosing pump with hydros

theclownshow · Jun 12, 2026

I found this peristaltic pump and I’m wondering if this could be wired with an appropriate plug and plugged directly into the drive port of a Hydros controller.

I enjoy DIY projects and this looks like it would be pretty easy.

Yes. You would need a 2 pin aviation connector and a pump that matches hydros' drive port voltage which is 12v.
The pump you listed has 5v so you would want a different pump. I'd suggest kamoer nkp 12v version.

Got it thanks! This website actually also has a 12 volt version but I will take a look at the one you suggested as well
