DC Water Pump
This pump operates as a DC motor, running at 3V and drawing a current of 100mA. When powered, it pulls water in through the bottom of its plastic casing and expels it through the outlet pipe. To function correctly, the pump must always remain submerged in water. Note that reversing the polarity will not turn it into an intake pump; it will continue to pump water outward.
This submersible pump is highly user-friendly, making it an excellent choice for beginners to create projects such as fountains or automated plant watering systems!

It is a submersible pump and should be used that way. It tends to heat too much that there’s a risk of overheating if you turn it on unsubmerged.
It comes with a 25cm male wire, allowing for easy insertion into a breadboard.
