KEY DETAILS
What this item is designed to do
Submerged pump
The pump is not self-priming and must be placed in water before it is powered.
Prototype use
The current listing describes this set for experiments and specifically does not recommend continuous operation.
What is included
- 2 mini submersible pumps with sensor plates
- 2 Mini-USB adapters
Check before ordering
- Compatible PlantMate capacitive converter/comparator is not included
- A typical resistive comparator may not work with the plate
- Do not run the pump dry
- Not recommended for continuous operation
