View full detailsScintex is one of Australia's largest online suppliers of 12 volt direct current pump and pumping systems. Our specialty is in diesel transfer as well as heavier liquids like oils and motor oils. While most pumps are suited for room temperature fuels and oils we are proud to be a supplier of the Turbowerx range of high temperature oil transfer pumps and turbo scavenge pumps. Electric 12V pumps can be used from your battery to pump diesel, oil, biodiesel, unleaded petrol and range of other fuels. High flow 12V pumps are available for quick transfer. For on board applications for your car, truck, 4x4 or machinery we have OEM Bosch pumps and Facet fuel pumps. In many cases 12V pumps can be supplied in kit form, incorporating fuel hose, nozzles, flow meters and the fittings required for plumbing. Scintex can provide advice on how you can incorporate a 12V pump into your pumping application. We also supply a large range of stainless steel fuel fittings and fuel discharge & suction hose which can be supplied along with your pump. For water transfer Scintex can offer several options which are ideal for showers, drinking water transfer and small irrigation systems. Our quad water pumps have pressure cutoff switches and the small brass impeller pumps are ideal for marine applications such as bilge pumps. For onboard water and coolant pumps see our range of Bosch pumps.
Scintex is a pump and filtration specialist, with in-house engineers we can supply a pumping system suitable for you application. Our range varies from small 12V & 24V electric pumps to large 240V & 3 Phase pumps as well as hand drum pumps and pneumatic air pumps. Quickly and easily transfer fuels, diesel, oil, biodiesel, water and unleaded petrol. We also provide pumping solutions for the biofuel industry with biodiesel pumps and units for use in SVO conversions. Further to the automotive industry we supply intercooler and turbo oil scavenge pumps.
Using a 12V Oil Pump for pumping oil is a common challenge due to the higher viscosity of the fluid. The viscosity of oil increases at lower temperatures and this often adds to the problem in cooler states around Australia. The table below shows the relationship of oil viscosity with temperature.
As oil viscosity increases, the amount of work or power it takes to move the fluid increases. An analogy to understand this is consider stirring honey in in a jar on a hot day verses taking a jar from a fridge and attempting to mix it, the cold honey will be very difficult to mix and will consume more of your energy (power) to stir. Pumping oil is very similar and this needs to be considered when selecting a pump. Incorrect pump selection can result in equipment damage and faulting.
Diesel oil pumps are often chosen by persons not understanding diesel oil is a very light and low viscosity oil. Diesel oil has a viscosity of between 2-6cP which is relatively low compared to common motor oil which would be 10cP plus. The table below provides some common fluid viscosities at a range of temperatures and tables such as the one below should always be consulted before simply selecting the most cost effective or simply available pump.
Viscosity Chart for Common Liquids at Varying Temperatures.
Where P is the pressure the pump will produce (Pascals(gauge))
ρ is the density of the fluid being pumped (kg/m3)
g is the gravitational force (m/s)
h is the height the fluid will be discharged (meters)
As a worked example, the scintex Quad pump http://www.scintex.com.au/collections/water-pumps/products/fresh-water-pump has a rated discharge pressure of 275kpag for the 17lpm model. To determine the discharge head this pump can produce we simply divide 275,000Pa by the fluid density (1,000kg/m3) and the gravity (9.8m/s) and this gives us a height of 28m. Therefore this pump can be used to pump water to the 4th story of a building without any problems.
For further assistance with determining your ideal pumping requirements Scintex can assist in engineering a pumping solution from our range of diverse offerings.
Very happy with the pump and the very prompt delivery, awesome cheers
My wife and I decided to try the Scintex Immobilizer when our previous toy failed and were both impressed. The size is beginner-friendly yet satisfying, and the silicone feels soft and smooth. The strength dial offers a variety of sensations, making it exciting for both of us. It's easy to use and clean, and the flared base ensures safety during play. It’s simple, yet versatile for everyone.
Five stars, for sure!
The pump is made of quality parts compared to other brands you can fill it in the weight of it. More metal then plastic. I havent used mine yet, due to having to reshedule the job, so I cant comment on the performance side of it. But the customer service that I got from the sale person ( I forgot his name)..!! Was OUTSTANDING. He went out of his way to use another delivery provider and copped the extra cost, just to get the item to me a lot quicker... THANK YOU for that Scintex and I wont hesitate to buy from you again in the future..!
Only used once but looks like it’s going to save lots of work! Sweeps almost everything up impressed so far
Fitted into a clients makeshift septic tank replacing another brand that wasn't fulluy suited to the application. I found this Paddock pump as a better replacement option. Looked like it was a good product, Insalled it about 3 weeks ago & the customer hasn't called back, so it's getting the job done. Hopefully it last a long time in there. Will be my go to pump for this typoe of job.
Great product ,must use only when it’s dry though
As a paraplegic I found it hard to weigh myself accurately on small bath scales. These scales make it easy. Well made and accurate.
Fast and easy
Excellent delivery and very well packaged. I have assembled it but not had time to use it as yet. It looks like it will do the job very well. Staff were very helpful in answering my questions prior to purchase.
Good quality for a reasonable price
This chipper is great. Easy start relatively low noise does as great job on our heavily wooded block. Does everything claimed. Highly recommend
Am very happy with the Paddock Power Sprayer! Great Product.
This review is more for the excellent after supply support I received via email and phone due to a minor issue with the sprayer.
The after sales support team were able to resolve what was a minor isssue promptly and expertly.
Thanks guys
I brought this machine with a little skepticism as to how it might perform but was pleasantly surprised. I have used Ridge k1500's for years while working for other plumbers. This machine has just as much grunt. I pulled out a 3.5 metre horse tail of roots from a storm water drain yesterday. The cables and machine worked hard but got it all out. The cables seem to be as good as the ridge equivalent, some of the heads aren't great but ridged or rothenburger heads fit the cables and you'll also need to buy a ridge mitt/glove, as the one it comes with is useless. If you are after a cost effective drain machine option, definitely worth it. Mine has paid for it self already.

Very good solid unit with good fittings
