The manufacturer doesn't provide a flow rating for 6' for this model. They stop at 4' so I'd guess it's not recommended for your application.

It pumps a good flow to 40" in the swamp cooler box I have it running in. I think it will push to 6', the flow will be less. I'm using a 5/8" vinyl delivery tube; have had no problems.

it would suck the water out way too fast. I think you should buy a siphon with smaller diameter.

Um... maybe. It will lift water about 6 inches maybe a little more if you choke the output. It comes with an extension tube and a couple of different spray attachments. I think it would be easy to attach a small hose to it.

No, the filter won't be able to pull the water up into the filter box. You may want to look into getting a Whisper in tank filter. They're made for turtle tanks.

It should. I use it to transfer water from one holding tank to another. Works well for me. However I don't know what your application is.

I had this pump go from a five gallon bucket to 8 ft. above that, so 6 should be just fine.

I think it would. The adapter for the end of the hose is weighted and designed to draw water from the bottom of what you're pumping out of. That being said I've never actually tried it but in theory it should work.

The pump will raise the water a good 12 - 14 inches with good flow, just be aware that it can get stopped up if water is dirty

I don't think so. The filter creates a water flow through the clear tubes by displacing the water on it towards the top with the air bubbles that grow in size due to lowering the column pressure. This flow suck the water from the gravel and filter the water through it. All the garbage stay in the gravel till you clean it. The problem is that 3 or 4 inches doesn't provide enough pressure column to make the principle works. But that is just my opinion. Good Luck!

You would probably need a hose and water pump for that application. With hose hook up it works great

I am not quite sure what you are asking. The hose can reach to the bottom (you can elevate the tank if needed) and it will pull the water up. There are extensions to make the hose go farther. You may need to empty it many times depending on how large the tank is. I use it to empty a hot-tub.

I'm not totally sure but I would think it would matter more if you are pumping it vertical vs horizontal. I can tell you that i tried pumping water from a small sump tank up to the main tank and it struggled. I ended up raising my sump tank about 3 inches and that made it work fine, it just couldn't fight the extra pressure of those few inches.

You can try it, but my guess is that it will jam up the pump pretty quick. I would suggest that you try it w/ the filter in there first to see how it goes.

This pump works good for me. I pump water from a 55 gallon barrel about 8 feet to a shower.I'm not sure it will "lift" water from 15 feet or not?Look at a bigger pump. It's your call.

I use this on a 20 gallon tank. It does not seem to have a very strong flow for its size I would not recommend using this in a small tank such as yours. The unit itself would be too large for your tank and too strong. If you have a good filter pump for your tank I would think that it would be sufficient for circulation.

Hi, I agree with other comments. I would suggest that you would need to cover most of the base area in order to get adequate filtration circulation for the tank size.

I do not believe this is for your application. This is an above ground pump.
