Does the pump that is included run off of only "C" batteries or does it have the ability to run off A/C(wall outlet) also? Or is it strictly battery?

As far as I can tell it only has to option to run on C batteries. I remove the batteries when the pump is not in use, in an attempt to prevent the batteries from draining too quickly.

The pump has a 3/4 inch outlet and about a 3 foot pair of wire stripped off at the end hope this helps

This runs off of a low voltage transformer that plugs into an outlet. AC power... this won't run off batteries.

The unit comes with a wall adapter that will run 100 - 240 VAC.The adapter converts this to 12 VDC which is the power connectionto the unit. It also runs on batteries.

I connected mine to a 12Vdc power supply that I had from a previous project. batteries should work too, but of course they would require re-charging, kind of a pain. I installed a switch to turn the pump on and off. Also, I plan to use mine for sparging a beer mash. The pump has some gears that are lubricated with some type of grease. I would recommend running some hot water through it several times, before using it for human consumption. but it seems to run well, just a little noisy. hope this helps,

Marina "Battery-Operated' Air Pump. As stated in the name, it is battery only. Uses 2 D Cells. Primarily for use when electricty goes out or for transporting fish.

Excellent question. It comes with a pump that is battery operated. Since it doesn't run by electricity, I would guess a battery charger would not work unless possibly if the batteries need recharged.

Mine definitely came with a pump (no batteries)! One of the reasons why I bought it!

The pump always runs off of battery power; however, if the main pump fails, and the power is still on, the battery is still constantly charging. So, the pump can run LONG periods of time, because the battery is always receiving a charge.

This unit Has a Booster Pump and Does Use A Transformer To Run. I Believe It Was 12 VDC That Actually Runs It , That Being Said You May Wire It To Run On A 12 Volt deep Cycle Battery and Recharge It Whenever Needed As Well. The Unit W Pump Is Really Used Where Water Pressure is To Low For The R/O Membrane To Be Efficient IfYour Pressure Is Good You Don't Really Need This Unit.

It has to stay plugged in via A/C power. It is not battery operated. It is loud. As loud as you would expect a 500 Watt motor. You'll get over it once you start to use it. It is a fantastic device. Never runs out of air. Never stops blowing at full power. Get's a little warm in your hands if you don't use the black handle and air escapes out every seam, but that is normal. Clearly an overbuilt device. It's awesome!!! Best to use it outdoors to clean things as it blasts dust and dirt all over the place!

The pump runs on electricity. It plugs into wall outlet and goes thru a transformer. I've had mine outside for almost a year with no problems.

No. If you have the pump all the way on high with the vehicle charger, it's comparable to about mid-range when using the wall plug..it gets the job done though just takes longer. I've had better luck with the battery pack but that eats up batteries pretty quickly. It's not too bad if you have batteries that are rechargeable. I recommend having a vehicle and battery pack just in case. It's better to be prepared for any situation than being stuck with nothing.

My bed came with a pump that does need to be plugged into an electrical outlet. I don't know if there is an option for one that is battery operated. The bed inflated beautifully, is very comfortable, and deflated easily and we folded it and put it in it's carrying bag. I am very pleased.

It would never pump up all the way, but by the time I used to and found out, it was too late to return it. I'd buy one that has a pump that can be plugged in to AC as well as battery.

Has a rechargeable battery built in. I believe it should be able to run off of AC. Never tried.

No there is not. The power cord from the pump plugs into a receptical attached to the switch. If you plugged the pump directly into a wall socket or extension cord it would run all the time. You could plug the pump into a switched outlet to operate it manually. It has been working for 6 months The gate valve I installed to control the flow became clogged with hair. I disassembled the pump and found that it wasn't clogged. The impeller is easy to service.
