ATO Pump questions

Hi,

I had a few questions about the ATO pump for sale here.

1. It says it can push / pull up to 10 feet. Is that 10 feet of head pressure?
2. It says it is 12 volt. How much current does it draw?
3. Is it siphon proof (my ATO tank will be higher than my aquarium)?
4. Is it pretty quiet?
5. Is it OK for Salt water as well as ATO?

Thanks,

Don

1. Yes, 10 feet of head pressure. I've heard of people using it with even higher head though.
2. It will draw about 500mA
3. Yes
4. Not as quiet as a dosing pump
5. Yes.

So at 500 mA you could not use it on the Power Module?

You could, but it would be the only thing.
