I just found this Link over at 3DGameman , usual translation fun via babelfish.
I can't imagine how this would compare to the 120v version or 220v for europe.
Thoughts ?
 
Without knowing the spec's of this pump it's a tough call. Some of the 12v pumps I have seen pull upwards of 8 amps. This would be placing a strain on the P/S depending on the size of the P/S and the amount of devices placed on the P/S.
 
Just say no and get one with more flow ;)

Just use the super easy way I do... Plug your pump into your UPS/APC... That alone solves every concevable problem of pump not being powered except pulling the chord out.

And if you've ever pulled the cord out of a good UPS/APC, it takes a LOT of tug LoL!

Oh so simple, and it always bothers me how noone else has ever chimed in saying "I DO THAT"...

*Edit*
I just couldn't change chord. Notice what happens when I say in "airplane land" for long timespans...
 
Better get one...

It's not very smart to run any "expencive" electric device without one... TV's stereo's computers... Only takes one good surge or spike to kill one.

Besides... It's surprizing how many cheap off brand powerstrips that people use, don't warrenty, or have warrenties that they can worm out of. :\

Best if you're gonna just use a power strip to stick with a large name brand and pay that extra $5-10 for the warrenty.

Surge protection is not one area that should ever be skipped over.
 
I use a commercial spike detector made by Leviton. It's mounted below my electrical panel outside. Both legs in the panel are protected. Although its not cheap $750.00 it gives me a piece of mine. I have too many electronic items I place a value on. Not to mention living in Tucson, Arizona where lightning strikes are only second to Jacksonville, Florida.
