DC 6V Miniature Dosing Pump Peristaltic Hose Pump for Lab Aquarium Chemical Analysis(3 * 5mm)

Description

Product Overview

The DC 6V Miniature Dosing Pump from FTVOGUE is engineered for precise, low‑volume fluid handling in demanding laboratory and aquarium environments. Constructed from high‑quality plastic, the pump features a compact peristaltic hose with an inner diameter of 3×5 mm, delivering a maximum flow rate of 23 mL per minute. Its battery‑powered design operates at 1 V, eliminating the need for external power cords and enabling flexible placement on any workbench or tank. The pump’s self‑priming capability means it can start drawing fluid without manual suction, while the valve‑free architecture reduces wear and maintenance requirements. With a lightweight profile of just 0.07 kg and dimensions of 2.36 × 1.57 × 1.57 in, the unit is easy to install, transport, and store. The robust construction, combined with a quiet motor and efficient output, makes this dosing pump a reliable choice for a wide range of scientific and hobbyist applications.

Usage

This dosing pump excels in environments where accurate, repeatable fluid delivery is essential. In laboratory settings, it supports biochemical assays, pharmaceutical formulation, and fine‑chemistry experiments that require exact reagent volumes. The pump’s small hose size and low flow rate are perfect for titration, sample preparation, and micro‑dosing of catalysts or enzymes. Aquarium hobbyists benefit from its ability to add precise amounts of nutrients, pH adjusters, or medication to tanks without causing sudden spikes that could stress aquatic life. Because the pump runs on a small 1 V battery source, it can be positioned directly on a tank lid or inside a sealed enclosure, reducing cable clutter and improving safety. The device’s easy‑to‑replace hose and simple twist‑lock assembly allow quick swaps of tubing, making routine cleaning and sterilization straightforward. Whether you are conducting a controlled experiment in a bench‑top lab or maintaining a delicate reef aquarium, the pump delivers consistent performance with minimal user intervention.

FAQ

What types of fluids can the pump handle?

The pump is suitable for most aqueous solutions, mild acids, bases, and standard laboratory reagents. Its plastic hose is chemically resistant, but highly corrosive or abrasive fluids should be tested for compatibility before use.

How often should the hose be replaced?

For routine laboratory use, we recommend inspecting the hose every 3‑6 months and replacing it if any wear, cracking, or blockage is observed. In aquarium applications, more frequent checks may be needed due to bio‑film buildup.

Can the pump operate continuously?

Yes, the pump can run continuously at its rated flow rate, but it is advisable to allow brief cooling periods if operating for extended durations to maintain motor longevity.

Is the battery rechargeable?

The pump uses a standard 1 V battery pack that is not rechargeable. Replacement batteries are readily available and can be swapped without tools.

How do I reverse the pump direction?

By swapping the positive and negative power leads, the pump head can be reversed, allowing flexible flow direction without disassembling the unit.
