We have an 82 ft. deep well. Will this pump draw water from this distance?

Short answer is no it will not draw from 82 feet... BUT You say you well is 82 feet deep but is the static water level actually higher ? This pump will only draw from about 20-25 deep if your water level is standing in the well at that close then it will work.... Drop a weighted string down the pipe and check you water level within the pipe for a simple quick test....

Yes, as long as its not pumping up hill. This is a powerful pump but keep in mind distance and angle will make a difference. If its flat or downhill you are good to go. How long of a distance is the street from the middle of your house?

That picture pump will only pull water about 30 feet. Get as close to the point as you can. Be sure to disconnect the line to the well pump under the house. You may have to soak the gaskets in the picture pump to get the max. sucking pressure.

The Cdu800 I purchased draws about 8" of water when I use it. There is only about 1 inch more of water that I can draw. I am very satisfied with this as a sump pump in my basement

Yes it will,if you have it close enough. I have mine right by my sump pump.

which type of well? Live well? shallow water well? etc. this pump will move water just not a lot up a long distance. I pump from a 5000ga holding tank up 8 feet to a garden irrigation system and the pump holds at 4gpm.

I haven't used my pump, I doubt that it would put out enough pressure to go very far, I am just going to use it to fill a tank on a truck to water my garden during dry weather. Tony McQueen

This may be a little far for this small pump to handle. It does well up to 100'.

I don't think this can pull from that depth.....probably talking 1/2hp well pump power.

It is a powerful pump and lift water well above 2 feet and force it along way over a horizontal distance. Under normal condition she pump is expected to last well beyond its warranty However if the water remains undrained in the line you can expect the pump to wear faster. You should try to get the long line to slope ever so slightly so the line will drain . The pump has a temperature limitation of about 135 degrees fahrenheit and will automatically shut down then auto reset to on once it cools. This could possible work against you of you are dealing with nearly continuous operation.

Of course it will, if you get the pump within about 20 feet of the water level, and can have your discharge point no more than 50 feet higher than that.

It will work at a 5' depth. Intake screen at bottom of pump must remain fairly clean. If it gets clogged, no water flow.

That's a complex question with no definitive answer or recommendation. The pump will move a lot of water over short distances but the back pressure from a fire hose, length of run from the water source and rise of the elevation all contribute obstacles. Your best course of action would be to get the pump specs and visit the nearest fire department or engineering offices and see if one of the veterans can calculate head pressure for you under your circumstances. You need to know what it will and won't do before you commit to a purchase. What you're establishing is essentially a "dry" hydrant where you throw the intake in the lake if cirumstances arise. I'd ask the question hypothetically and ask for a hypothetical answer as liability issues may scare off a definitive response.

That is a good question. It doesn't appear to have high discharge pressure, so I don't think it would do too well. I have pumped from the ground level up higher with no real problem. Probably any sort of restriction would keep the flow way down. Keep in mind that the pump is driven by a battery.

Brand new the pump was able to draw well above 6"... But after it was run for a while (often times dry) it would not reliably draw above 15"... I relocated my pump below water level and it still works fine. It's a little slower than I would like so I may be replacing it with a larger pump.

I have my above ground pool lowered almost 2' down and it had no problem pumping out the water. I don't think that you will have any problem at 4'.

I would not use this pump for a well that is this deep the total head is out side the rating of this pump. A better fit would be the Red Lion RL-12G15-3W2V this pump is rated for up to 500' of head and will provide enough GPM for most applications.
