The pumps also work well with a 12v lead acid accumulator or any
other 12v DC 2A supply.
How much do the pumps draw?
Guess: 50 mA which would require a 40 AH car battery to be charged
monthly. That's a power of 0.6W let's say 0.5W after losses.
According to

that's 0.368781
foot-lbs/sec. Sounds like enough for a small fountain.
