Hi,
I have a powerhead which i use for my fish tank. I bought it from a UK based store but when it arrived it had a U.S. plug, at the time i had an adaptor and it worked okay.
I have since lost the adaptor and have tried numerous different adaptors to get it working again but none of them do the trick.

The powerhead's power specs are:
220-240V/50Hz
15 Watt
And it has a U.S. plug

I have tried alsorts of adaptors for this and none have worked, yet i know it works because i had it working before i lost the old adaptor.

Can someone advise me on what i need to buy to make it work before i go out and buy something this week?

Cheers.

EDIT:
i have tried it on the following 3 adaptors without success:

* Max 13A, 230V

*1A, 250V

*10A, 110-250V
