Power requirements of 5000.020 pump

How many watts does the Osmolator 5000.020 Metering Pump use? I have an old pump and some 9v DC power supply but want to be sure it can supply enough juice.

At 9V if you have at least 800mA it should work, at 12V you need at least 1000mA, we use a 12V 1600mA power supply and the controller cuts off the pump on pre 2009 versions at 800mA (9V at the time) and 1200mA since. The pump needs 12V to pump at full power.

Thanks! I went ahead and wired it up last night and the 1200mA supply worked fine. I am not using the setup for ATO but simply to fill my ATO container under my sump every few weeks.
