Osmolator Pump voltage question

[GlassReef]

The Osmolator's metering (water) pump model 5000.02 states 9V as standard. Has anyone successfully run them at 12V?

Thanks

The osmolator now uses 11V we have used 9V-12V through the years. The pump lasts longer and uses less power at 9V but with 12V it pumps more and typically in the mA ratings we need it is easier to find 12V power supplies.

Thanks Roger. That's exactly the kind of info I needed. Although a total Tunze fan, I needed a special ATO solution and so, built my own. Could have spent $140 for a LiterMeter III remote pump to get the water moved but thought a Tunze metering pump for 1/7 the cost would be great!
