Looking for some Guidance Finding a Power Supply for a CrocSee CRS-7A016 Micro Water Pump (specs in post).
(reddthat.com)
Hi all, I have a water pump connected to an adapter (pictured) but I am having trouble getting it to run using any of the cords I had on hand; it calls for using DC-only & 12V (between 9-14). I have tried Googling around & browsing Amazon but I'm a bit overwhelmed with options. Can anyone suggest an adapter that'll get this little guy pumping? Please forgive my naivety & TIA.
Also, I hope that it's kosher I ask here. If it's not, please let me know if there's a better place. Thanks again.
no worries, something like this would be fine

a 12v 1A power supply is sufficiently basic of a component that i wouldn't worry too much about like getting a higher-quality one or whatever they'll all probably work fine
I personally wouldn't put any unbranded and uncertified AC to DC converter in my home. Without proper regulatory testing and certification it's a fire hazard.
Hopping in here to thank y’all for your insight. It’s been an educational morning!
you know, I saw the CE mark on the label, but oddly enough on closer inspection it appears to be like a knockoff? i hadn't heard of this before but apparently when they're close together like that it actually stands for China Export which (unlike the real CE) has no safety standards associated
this is actually pretty egregious and I'm not sure how they're getting away with it lol but anyways I appreciate the call out, learned something today
Afaik that's a myth. There is no testing or certification associated with the CE logo, it's just a self-declaration of the manufacturer that certain standards are met. You can just buy rolls of these stickers, or print them yourselves. That's what manufacturers do, legit ones and shitty ones.
Legit companies won't just print it without self testing. At any point the EU can demand test data and if you don't have it they can block your company from shipping there. It also opens the company up to lawsuits. Big companies with a brand to protect won't mess around with this, it's cheaper to design and test.
