I’m looking to attach a mini/micro pump to my skimmers waste cup outlet that self-primes. I have a nearby drain line I can tap into. I’d like to power it through my apex power bar to easily turn it on/off.


I was thinking I’d use a 24v mini diaphragm pump. Another thought was a A peristaltic pump but worried that it would narrow too much and clog.

Has anyone done this before, or have any recommendations?
