ATPWONZ 200L/H Mini USB Submersible Water Pump

MT Palms: I bought this pump to replace an AC pump on a table fountain that didn't work well. The biggest issue with the original pump was the size of the AC cord, which was too thick and interfered with the fountain's performance. The usb cord is about half as thick, and works much better, so mission accomplished.
In addition, while most of these pumps look the same outwardly, I discovered that this one is better made than most, when I took it apart to clean it.
I have been powering it with a portable solar battery pack, so I can place my little fountain where ever I want it, without being restricted to placing it near an outlet. I can plug it into any power source that will receive a usb plug, including an AC outlet if I want.
The specs on this pump was a direct replacement for the AC pump it replaced.

Hawk eyeHawk eye: I tinker with simple electronic circuits and own, operate and maintain a few 3D printers as a hobby. On occasion I 3D print decorative objects that have some function, such as lighting via LEDs or as shown in the photo, a water fountain.

This is the second water fountain I've made (for curious readers' sake, the objects of the fountain are a bust of a Lagiacrus and small statues of Ludroth. These creatures are from the Monster Hunter video game series.) and I forgot how vital the manual valve of this pump is.

A few years back, I made my first fountain, a statue of a woman pouring water out of a bucket, and used a pump like this one. I had to carefully adjust the valve to get the water flow right. When I made the fountain shown in the photo, I tried using a standard water pump. Big mistake, as the water blasted from the Lagiacrus's mouth, rather than trickling from it like I wanted it to. Realizing my error and that the pump I had didn't have a manual valve to control water flow, I bought this pump.

This pump saved the fountain. While I nearly had to close the manual valve, you can see in the photo the water flows as I want it to, trickling down the Lagiacrus's...

ViveElan: This is a powerful little pup that fits our cats Flower Fountain perfectly. It's powerful and works well. So far I think it's a good value. It's noisier than the original but not too bad if properly placed.

J.Dylan McNeill: It had the same model number as the engine that went out in my cat fountain. The cats were very upset when the old motor died. They swore at me. Wouldn't let me pet them. They looked at the replacement waterbowl, then glared at me with their ears back. "What, do you think we're savages?!" I looked at replacing the entire unit. But I googled the part number, and this came up! $40-50 vs $10? Deal! And it looks exactly like the original, but it actually performs better (more water throughput). Glad I just googled the part number. My cats think I'm their hero once again!

J. Jensen: I needed to find a replacement pump for my pet watering device. It's a FreshFlow II and the original pump was making a lot of noise and not pumping very well after several years of use. Checking the pump dimensions carefully and comparing both the measurements and photos it looked like this mini pump had exactly the same body as the failing pump. When it arrived I checked the pumps to each other and found that it was a perfect match. I installed it and it is working great, proving the right amount of lift and flow without being too loud. There is a little pumping noise, but that was expected.
