Hi all, I have a water pump connected to an adapter (pictured) but I am having trouble getting it to run using any of the cords I had on hand; it calls for using DC-only & 12V (between 9-14). I have tried Googling around & browsing Amazon but I'm a bit overwhelmed with options. Can anyone suggest an adapter that'll get this little guy pumping? Please forgive my naivety & TIA.

Also, I hope that it's kosher I ask here. If it's not, please let me know if there's a better place. Thanks again.

no worries, something like this would be fine

a 12v 1A power supply is sufficiently basic of a component that i wouldn't worry too much about like getting a higher-quality one or whatever they'll all probably work fine

I personally wouldn't put any unbranded and uncertified AC to DC converter in my home. Without proper regulatory testing and certification it's a fire hazard.
