The Run-Off Pump by The Bucket Company is a 4-litre collection tub with a 12V 1100 GPH auto bilge pump inside. Drainage runs into the tub, and once the water reaches the float switch the pump kicks in and lifts it up and away to a drain, a sink or back to your hydroponic system, then switches itself off. Two pumps come in the box: one to run in the tub and a backup ready to go, both included in the price. It suits home growers draining pots on runoff trays or grow tables, plus anything in the grow room that drips all day, like dehumidifiers and air conditioners. The honest limit: it cycles on and off as water collects, so it is a drainage pump, not an all-day recirculating pump.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #f4f9f4; border-left: 4px solid #2e5e2e; padding: 1rem 1.3rem; border-radius: 6px; margin-bottom: 2rem; font-size: 0.93rem; line-height: 1.6;\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong style=\"color: #2e5e2e;\"\u003eShips with an Australian plug.\u003c\/strong\u003e Every unit we sell comes with a 12V, 5A power supply fitted with an Australian plug, ready for a standard power point.
