Product Information
Full details
This Jadeshay DC 12V Solar Water Pump is designed for individuals needing a low-consumption, low-noise circulation solution, especially in off-grid or solar-powered applications. Its key benefit is its versatility, functioning both as a submersible pump (for cold water) and an in-line pump, making it ideal for home solar systems or general circulation tasks. A key consideration is its limitation to cold water when submerged, requiring external use for hot water applications.

FAQs
Can this pump be used for hot water?
Yes, but only when used as an in-line pump and the water temperature does not exceed 100°C (212°F). It cannot be submerged in hot water.
What is the maximum head height for this pump?
The maximum head height is 3 meters (9.8 feet).
What size are the inlet and outlet ports?
The inlet and outlet ports are 1/2" male, designed to fit 1/2" NPT and BSP female fittings.
How much power does this pump consume?
It is a low-consumption pump designed for DC 12V systems. Specific wattage is not provided, but it is optimized for efficiency.
Can I use this pump in saltwater?
The product description does not specify suitability for saltwater. It is generally recommended for clean water applications unless otherwise stated by the manufacturer.
What is the noise level of the pump?
The noise level is approximately 30 decibels measured at 1 meter.
Does it come with power cables or a power supply?
The product information does not detail included accessories beyond couplers and clips. A separate 12V DC power source is required.
Troubleshooting
Pump not turning on
Check the 12V DC power connection. Ensure the power source is active and providing sufficient voltage. Verify all wiring is secure.
Low water flow or pressure
Ensure the intake is not blocked. Clean the intake screen. Check for kinks or leaks in the hoses. Verify the water level is sufficient for submersible use or that the pump is primed for in-line use. Ensure the head height requirement is not exceeded.
Pump is noisy
Ensure the pump is properly seated and not vibrating against a hard surface. Check for any debris inside the pump housing. Verify the pump is fully submerged if used that way.
Pump runs but no water is moved
For in-line use, the system may need to be primed. Ensure there are no airlocks in the system. Check for blockages in the inlet or outlet.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure a stable 12V DC power source is available.
- Connect the inlet and outlet hoses using the provided couplers and stainless steel clips. The pump's inlet/outlet are 1/2" male, designed to fit 1/2" NPT and BSP female fittings.
- For submersible use, ensure the pump is fully submerged in *cold* water and placed on a stable surface. Do not operate dry.
- For in-line use, position the pump in the water line, ensuring it is filled with water before starting to prevent dry running. Ensure connections are secure to prevent leaks.
- Verify that the maximum working temperature for external use (100°C / 212°F) is not exceeded.
Compatibility:
- Power: Requires a 12V DC power supply. Compatible with solar panels, 12V batteries, or AC-to-DC adapters.
- Fittings: Inlet and outlet are 1/2" male, fitting 1/2" NPT and BSP female connectors.
- Water Type: Suitable for clean water. Not designed for abrasive fluids or water with significant debris.
Care:
- Cleaning: Periodically clean the pump's intake screen to prevent blockages. Use a soft brush and clean water. For the pump body, wipe with a damp cloth.
- Storage: Store in a dry place when not in use. Ensure the pump is empty of water.
- Maintenance: Inspect hoses and connections for wear or leaks regularly. Do not immerse the pump in hot water above 100°C (212°F) even for brief periods.
