12 v submersible pump

[Diabalo]

Any recommendations for a 12 v submersible pump, plenty on E-bay/Amazon cheap enough but with mixed reviews. Just need to be able to transfer water from container to moho tank.

I use one of these for transferring water from the container and it does a good job.

I use the same pump. I just drop it in the tank and push the hose in to the water filler of the mh. I increased the length of the elec cable and put a cig plug on it so I just plug it in to the 12V skt on dashboard. Simple but has worked for many years.

Sorry to state the obvious, but check that the pump fits through the container hole. And don't ask how I know

I use a Seaflo submersible pump for this. Very cheap. Good flow rate. I was impressed enough to buy a bilge pump for my underslung shower waste transfer tank (this transfers the shower water to the onboard grey tank in the heated part of the vehicle). I probably overspecced that one. It only goes on for about half a second every 10 seconds when taking a shower, but was also cheap with built in float switch.

Good point. I know the Whale GP1002 fits through the hole on on a Leisurewize 51L Water Hog.

Good point I have ordered the Whale GP1002 and it's 36mm Dia so should be ok for my water carrier, I think.

I used this from Amazon to replace the one meant to be with a Compass motorhome (but lost or kept by a previous owner).

Our Compass Avantgarde has a 12v socket on the outside handy to power the pump - but takes the slimmer power jack.

What size pipe are people using, does the 10mm or 13mm make much difference?

I am using 12mm food grade.

I have one of the Whale pumps linked to above. It is connected to my main tap. I found the flow rate much too fast for the tap. It came out at such a speed to wash your hands or fill a cup with water meant splashing all over the worktop. I ended up fitting a cheap device that wires into the power supply to the pump and reduces it from 12V to 5V. Now turning on the tap is a less tsunami like event. For filling your water tank this may not be an issue, but if it is this option is a cheap and easy fix.
