This R385 diaphragm pump is the perfect choice for any project that requires water to be moved from one place to another. The pump is supplied with 1M of silicon hose that you can cut to your requirements, the hose provides a good seal and will not leak.
Possible uses/projects include; a small aquarium pump, automatic plant watering system, making a water feature or music-activated dancing water features to name but a few. when pumping a liquid the pump runs very quietly. The pump is also capable of pumping air.
The pump can handle pumping heated liquids up to a temperature of 80 degrees Celcius and when suitably powered can suck water through the tube from up to 2m and pump water vertically for up to 3m.

Excellent
What is the ID of pipe, if I need to purchase a longer one from amazon?
Sir very nice and useful demo
would this work with a spray nozzle system for watering plants?
Hi, sadly It doesn't move enough water per second to facilitate spraying.
Would it matter if i use it on a 5V? i dont mean if it will work better or worse but if it will be able to break itself for not using the amount of V that he was supposed to get
There will be a point that it won't work at all, I'm not sure if that point is 5V or lower. As it is rated for 6V - 12V you would be taking a risk.
Is it reversible ? I.e. it pumps in the opposite direction on changing electric polarity?
Hi, no it only pumps in one direction.
how far would this squirt water if pointed up towards sky, please make a video about this and help me. Try making the pipe exit hole smaller, thanks again yar.
Hi, we haven't tried this but we suspect not very far. So, if you wanted to make a gentle water feature where water trickles down some rocks then this would probably be a good solution but if you wanted some sort of fountain jet then this would not be suitable for that.
You connect the jumper with the pump and what else?
Hi, the pump is supplied with a length of tubing. Cut the tubing to the desired length and push one bit onto one connector and the other bit onto the remaining connector.
All you need is a suitable power supply and the pump will begin to work as soon as it is connected, there is no switch on the pump. That is all that is required, apart from the water you want to pump and the container you want to pump it into.
If you want to add a switch you can do and if you want to control switching with a microcontroller you can do that also.
Can you control the power?
You could use a potentiometer, we are unsure of the effect this would have on performance.
Can you use this pump to push air? Wanna try one for homemade bait tank
Hi Josh, yes it will push air but it makes more noise when moving air than it does when it's moving water.
Is this also works as an air pump or a vacuum pump? thanks
Hi Jeff, It can move air but it is designed for liquids. Also, when using it to move air it is quite noisy. Hope this helps.
Can i use this pump instead peristaltic?
Planning to make a automatic cocktail machine
It's not something we tested for but we would be interested to know how it worked out.
Hi pls reply what is diameter of the pipe you used in this pump 😊
Hi, and thanks for your question.
The pipe has an inside diameter of 6.4mm and an outside diameter of 9.4mm. We supply i in 1m/5m lengths here;
kitronik.co.uk/products/silicone-tube-for-use-with-6-12v-r385-diaphram-pump
Could not find cost of unit on ebay. What is the cost might I use or need 1,000,000?
We don't sell on Ebay, you can by directly from our site www.kitronik.co.uk/2567-water-pump-6v-12v-with-1m-silicone-tube.html
Can u tell me water inlet and outlet nozzle size??
The inside diameter of the pipe is 6mm, so the nozzles will be approx 5-6mm
Suppose pumps one end is connected to baloon filled with air ... it is not powered then will the air leak from the baloon ?
No it won't at least it shouldn't
@@jeffgood6441 it was part of a project but I had used it.
It leaks the air.
Thanks for your reply after a year 😃
Can this pump only be used for pumping water? What about liquids of similar viscosity?
It would depend on the liquid, liquids that are acidic for example would damage the pump.
If the liquid doesn't react to other things, plastics and metals, then it should be ok.
@@kitronik so hand sanitizer is a no go..
@@christinechetty7498 Even if it copes with the hand sanitizer, you would need to put in some work to get the switching right so as not to be wasteful etc.
whether the water pressure is strong?
Hi, the Maximum flow rate of up to 1 - 3L/min means it's quite a powerful pump for its size. It can pump water vertically up a pipe for approx 3m. I hope this helps.
Can you submerge it underwater?
No, unfortunately, it hasn't been designed to work submerged.
If we interchange the terminals of motor
Reverse glass filling is starts???????
Hi, this pump has been designed to pump in one direction only and will only pump in that direction. You would have to switch the hose/tubes over. Hope this helps.
Will it pump in both directions?
Hi, it works in one direction only.
Ok Thanks for the reply!
Is it suitable for liquid soap?
It would be difficult to control flow for something so precise and the pump may struggle with fluids of greater viscosity than water.
Is the pump really so quiet?
It's very noisy when moving air/gas but much less so when pumping water. It's definitely not silent but it isn't distracting when running in a room.
Can it use for automatic sanitizer dispenser. Make 2000 cycle in a day on off in every 2 seconds
It could be done. It's a great pump but I would probably consider at least weighing it up against other alternatives.
@@kitronik but I should use this or not for at least 1000 on off cycle in a day
Give some alternative of 12 volt pump
@@thelogicalfacts7732 We don't manufacture it so it is difficult for us to say but I would say the main design concerns were probably centred around continuous use rather than continuous switching.
We have not had any reports of them failing so they would appear to be reliable.
@@kitronik Which is the maximum time that can work continuously? And how much time should it rest?
I am working on a university project and I need a small water pump that can pump water from A to B and then from B to A. I am not familiar with water pumps. What small water pumps that can do it and where can I find them?
Hi, we have only stocked, and have experience with, pumps that work in one direction only. There are some practicalities involved which will likely mean that bi-directional pumps are not common. Making a pump that has the same efficiency in both directions seems like it might have expensive solutions.
If you will be using inexpensive pumps, it might work well to have two separate pumps controlled by the same microcontroller?
Sorry we couldn't be of more help with this.
Hi did you find anything that worked for you?
You can use peristaltic pump. If you can figure out hwo to reverse the current flow then you can do reverse the water flow.
We have to air lift the water about 24 inches through garden hose before it reaches the pump- will this work
@@keithfrancis4178 although this isn't my field of expertise. I do have some experience with these pumps. My suggestion, it shouldn't be an issue if you can get a pump with high flow rate. Atleast 500 ml/min flow rate should be enough for your use case.
Does it need to be primed?
Hi Edwin, as the pump is capable of pumping both air and liquids it does not need to be primed with a liquid prior to use as the pump will pump happily if the chamber is full of air.
@@kitronik perfect. Thank you very much.
Can this handle salt water?
Hi, thanks for your question. It probably can for a time but it isn't specifically rated for saltwater so it may affect its operational life.
Is this pump rated for Isopropyl Alcohol? Or would this rust out?
There was no information to say that it was rated for this. I would perhaps find a pump that advertises this fact, to be safe.
What's the diameter of the pump's sprouts?
Hi,
The Silicone Pipe Inside Diameter: 6mm.
The Silicone Pipe Outside Diameter: 8.5mm.
I hope this helps.
@@kitronik Yes, very helpful. Thanks
In ordinary motor pumps even motor is swiched off water flows in and out...no blocking..system. .what about this pump
Hi, thanks for your question. When power is removed the pump will stop operating, so it will not pump water. I expect you will be able to force water through it but water won't flow by itself until the power is reconnected. I hope this helps.
"can suck water through the tube from up to 2m and pump water verticaly for up to 3m" this means can pump water upto a total of 5m or is it 3m?
Hi Thimas, I'm not clear on pumping terminology but it can draw water from up to 2m through a tube and move it for up to 3m, according to its documentation. In practice, I would expect that input and output would be more balanced.
In perfect conditions, total travel could be as much as 5m.
Can this be used to suck air and create vaccum?
Hi, although the pump can move air it is not rated as a vacuum pump.
The only way to know for sure is to test it but we would be inclined to go for a pump specifically designed for this purpose. Probable outcomes of using this pump are likely to be unsatisfactory and may result in damage to the pump.
can i use it as Air Bubble maker in a SMALL BowL type fish Pound ❓❓
Hi, it can pump air and liquids. I'm not sure that one of these types of pumps would be best suited to your purpose as I suspect they would move more air than you would want.
@@kitronik ok 😃 thanks
Can it pull water from 1.5 meter depth and throw it 1 meter above? Does it need to be submerged or be at the level of the source to pull water?
Hi Vishesh, It is rated for the following;
Maximum suck range of 2m.
Maximum head range of 3m.
So in total, that is 5m of water movement. It won't work as a fountain throwing water up into the air but it could do well as part of a water feature, where water is taken from a reservoir and moved up to pour out of something like a stone statues mouth etc. You would need to experiment to find the optimal pump position for your project but it is not designed to be submerged in water. Keep it protected and dry. I hope this helps.
@@kitronik I need to pull water from 1 to 2 meter below without submerging it. Hope it is possible.
does this pump is good to compress air? which value of pressure?
Hi Angelo.
This is just a pump and therefore will not compress air, but will pump it.
Rob
The pump showed this vedio is water pump. if you need mini air pump, welcome to contact us.

does this have enough power to work on a bycycle
Hi, and thanks for the question. I'm not sure what you mean, but if you mean for inflating the tyres then we would say that they are not designed to meet much resistance.
There are much better options for this application on Amazon. I hope this helps.
@@kitronik what im say is it strong enough to build a bike that uses it to propelled forward, talking about a water pump bike, it runs the dc motor to ride the bike! i down have the supplies to get it done, but one day i might try it . i may have to build a gear box to make it more powerful! like a hydraulic pump, just wanted to do some thing to decrease the electric use as of where i use a 36 volt i replace it with 12volts, just wondering!
@@user-yv4yd5ks2z They are only rated to move water over a combined distance of approx. 5m at a rate of about 1-3L per minute. I can't see that this would provide a suitable option. If you ever get around to trying, let us know how you got on.
how do I put this together lol
The pump is supplied fully assembled and comes with a length of silicone tubing. Just cut the tubing to the desired length and fit the two pieces to the pump. Put one of the tubes in a container of water and the other where you want the water to go, add power and you're done.
You can then add a switch between the power and the pump, or instead of a switch, you can use a microcontroller for some automated conditional switching controlled by code. You could create a water feature that only turns on when someone approaches or an automated plant watering system. The possibilities are endless.
What is the rpm of the pump?
Hi, this information is not available from the manufacturers as they express speed for pumps in flow rate. These pumps have a flow rate of 1 - 3L/min, depending on the supply voltage. I hope this helps.
Maximum oTemperature of liquid that can be handled by this pump please
I think about 80 Celsius
Hi! Can I use this pump for transferring think batter like in this below video of desert making?
th-cam.com/video/jRT2ZI6lGf0/w-d-xo.html
Hi Gauranga, it's not something we've tried. It's only been tested with water and air. Also, if the pump could handle the job you would still need to design a rotating nozzle to get something similar to the video you showed as an example. Sorry I couldn't be more help.
