Has anyone used the magnetic stirrer out to power a small dc pump? I want to control one of those small $9 dc pumps In my sump to mix my alkalinity solution as it doses.
They are 12v and take about 300mA.

Not an easy fix but you do have 24v - 12v converts.
You just need the max amperage supplied by the 24v to make sure it can handle the 300ma load.

Keep in mind stirrer output are not simple "ON-OFF" when stirrer start, power is ramped with PWM
