{"product_id":"3v-vertical-submersible-water-pump","title":"3V Vertical Submersible Water Pump","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis 3V vertical submersible low power water pump is an ideal solution for creating a small indoor water feature or as part of a plant watering system. At the heart of the pump is a 3V DC motor that runs quietly and only draws approximately 100mA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pump needs priming before use and should be kept fully submerged during use as it will only pump water not air. Also, it only works in one direction as a pump, you cannot reverse the connections and have it move water in the other direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt's 3V, 100mA power requirements are such that you could use a microcontroller with suitable drive capacity to switch it on or off.   As the new micro:bit now has 200mA available for powering external devices, this pump can be powered directly by the  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/products\/56100-bbc-micro-bit-v2-board-only\"\u003emicro:bit  V2\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe micro:bit  can only drive 15mA from its pins, so a transistor or FET is required to control it from the pins, either in an on\/off capacity, or, with \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/blogs\/resources\/using-pwm-kitronik-motor-driver-board\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/blogs\/resources\/using-pwm-kitronik-motor-driver-board\"\u003ePWM\u003c\/a\u003e to vary pumping rate.
