    Hello I'm looking for a pump with a low flow rate that runs off low voltage DC (like the pumps used in PC water cooling) but that can handel dirty pond water. Looking at the web all the pumps have insane flow rates and power requirments. This is only to fix a water feature that the previous ocupants of the house removed the pump from (its a kind of water slide thing ontop of a rockery that leads to the pond). I need the pump to have a low power requirement as I want to power it from a solar panel as we are trying to convert various parts of the house to use human/solar power. I also plan on adding some other systems to the garden to automate some other tasks so am looking for relay valves (for water distribution) that are not needing mains voltages to switch them (as all systems in the garden are going to be solar powered) or too massive transiant power at switching.
