12V Mini Peristaltic Pump 5W Self-Priming with Silicone Tube
12V Mini Peristaltic Pump – Compact, Quiet & Precise Fluid Transfer
Meet the CNMAWAY 12V NKP Mini Peristaltic Pump — a compact, self-priming micro pump designed for precise metering and circulation of water and compatible fluids. With a 5W power draw and low-pressure operation, this peristaltic pump is ideal for aquariums, laboratory dosing, DIY projects, hydroponics, coffee machines, and more. The included food-grade silicone tubing ensures clean, contamination-free fluid transfer every time.
Why Choose a Peristaltic Pump?
Unlike traditional pumps, peristaltic pumps move fluid through compression of the flexible silicone tube — the fluid never contacts the pump mechanism itself. This makes them perfect for metering, dispensing, and transferring liquids where hygiene and precision matter most.
Key Features
- Self-Priming: Starts fluid flow automatically — no manual priming needed.
- Compact Design: Small form factor fits easily into tight spaces and DIY builds.
- 12V DC Operation: Compatible with standard 12V power supplies, battery packs, and adapters.
- Low Power Consumption: Only 5W — energy-efficient for continuous or intermittent use.
- Silicone Tubing Included: Food-grade, flexible silicone tube for clean, reliable fluid contact.
- CE Certified: Meets European safety and quality standards.
- Peristaltic Structure: Fluid only touches the tube, keeping the mechanism clean and long-lasting.
- Low Pressure Output: Suitable for gentle, controlled metering applications.
- Wide Application: Aquariums, hydroponics, lab dosing, beverage dispensers, coffee equipment, and more.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What voltage does this peristaltic pump require?
A: This mini peristaltic pump runs on 12V DC, making it compatible with most standard 12V power supplies, adapters, and rechargeable battery packs used in DIY and hobby projects.
Q: Can this pump handle liquids other than water?
A: The pump is rated for water metering and circulation. Because the silicone tubing is the only part in contact with the fluid, it can also handle other non-corrosive, low-viscosity liquids compatible with silicone tubing — always verify chemical compatibility before use.
Q: Is the pump truly self-priming?
A: Yes! The peristaltic design allows it to self-prime, meaning it can draw fluid upward from a reservoir without manual priming — simply connect, power on, and the pump begins circulating fluid automatically.
Q: What is included in the package?
A: The package includes the 12V mini peristaltic pump unit along with a flexible silicone tube for immediate use in your project.
