I found this powerful little12v water pump at the wreckers in a Toyota Prius and I tested it on a 12volt source and then tried it on a 12v solar panel. It's called an inverter pump. It's from a 2004 to 2009 Prius. I connected a meter to it to get actual amperage readings while it was pumping water connected to a solar panel and then to a 12v battery charger power source.

Great video, thanks for posting that. Been looking for a good pump for a while. Just ordered one from ebay, ships from China, $45.00 canadian funds. Saw the same pump listed on other sites for over 300 dollars.

very nice. I can use this for my gold prospecting

Could you use it as a turbine micro hydro generator by running pressurized water back through it ?

Can you tell us what head can this pump handle pls. or pressure. thx.

im thinking portable foot jacuzzi. some heated water after a long day hiking or fishing..i like this idea.

interesting find... how many GPM can it move and to what max head height?

where on a prius is this located? is it used to pump hot water? thanks so much! awesome video!

So you can essentially build a small home completely off grid using 12 volt water pumps and lighting. Charging it with 3 maybe 4 solar panels from Harbor freight nice the more we learn about off grid the brighter our future can be...

dc motor not induction motor...

would that pump be ideal for a smaller and portable dredging pump?

your video gave me tinitus

Powerful little thing for only 18 watts.

Those were the years when the Prius driver's claimed the accelerator stuck open and they couldn't stop and crashed and then sued Toyota.

Pretty cOoL. More bang than I would have expected.. I just found a reason to like the Prius :o)

I would be interested if this would work to pump water from a rainwater storage tank?
Solar with batteries would be ideal.
Have you tried to see what sort of head this thing can pump...e. if it was on top of a tank and had to pump up from the bottom how much pressure would you get/loose?

I bought one of these off ebay after seeing the vid. I either got a bad pump because mine sounded like it was spinning but no water or suction was created. Very disappointed.

Might not be safe if you want drinking water.

how much is it pump?
