Will the pump raise the water 6 or 7 feet to connect to a drain?

The book doesn't say. I would think 6 or 7 feet would be fine, though. The previous dehumidifier that I owned could lift 13 feet.

I have it set up to pump about 5 feet to the sewage main but it is very powerful and I think it can definitely pump much higher than that...maybe 10.

Mine has three ways to drain. (1) bucket (2) gravity hose (3) pump hose. I use the pump and the hose associated with that is about 15 feet long. I don't recall the exact height but the pump is good for a vertical rise in the hose of about 10-14 feet. The pump has worked great for me and I don't have to be all that close to the drain.

This pump move water from the lake uphill to my lawn in front of my home which is more than 25 higher than the lake.

Yes, as long as you have the water running fast enough it will pull water from 5' feet below.

It depends on how far up you want to go. Mine goes up about 5 feet then across the ceiling 6 feet then down to a utility sink. The Hartell website indicates a maximum 15 foot lift. See http://catalog.hartell.com/item/condensate-pumps/kt-15-series-pumps/pn-1011?&seo;=110.

I think you would be fine. My Little Giant pump is connected to my dehumidifier as well and goes horizontal for about 3 feet and then over 7 foot up into a drain.

I doubt that it will remove much water at that depth. If you look closely at the pump it is sitting on perhaps 1/2 inch legs.

I use my pump to irrigate my lawn in Florida so there is not too much of a rise but I would imagine it would pump at least 30 feet uphill.

This pump will work in mains pressure up too 140 PSI. I have tested to 60 psi of pumping pressure , it will lift 11 feet of head.

It might be possible to have it maintain a level within about 6 inches, but it would be easier to use a float valve and a pressure switch to cycle the pump on and off.

I have a 2500 pump and my goes higher than that, it goes about 10-15 feet up and yes the valve should be shut for the waterfall action, less waterfall open valve as needed.

It should work for draining the pool, just beware that the higher the water needs to be lifted, the slower it goes. The pump box shows in a bar graph that if the water is lifted 5 feet the max flow is 2000 gph, if lifting 10 feet max flow is 1400 gph, if lifting 15 feet max flow is 900 gph. If you're hoping for it to put out flow at rates like 20+ gpm (or 1200 gph), get hoses that are 1 inch or bigger.

600 feet is a lot but if there's no head (rise from source) it should work. There are instructions included that show how to install the pump as a pressure booster to a city supply line. The problem you may find is that the pump pulls harder than the supply can provide water and you might collapse the hose on the supply side. If you install the pump at the source and let the pump push it the whole way that might work better. I push water up 6 feet and then push it 150 feet and get 8gpm. I'm on my second pump and the newer models are a little better.

It's only about 6 feet. We use an exterior extension cord buried just below the ground running to the garage in a pvc pipe. This pump is not very big-it's like a 10 gallon fishtank pump. I am looking at finding a bigger one. This one does not have enough power to circulate our little 6 foot pond.

SIr, Not a specailst, however more of a practicalist. If to raise 18ft then I suggest you use the biggest , most practicle pump, and use number 10 wire, rather than the house wiring of 12. You dont need any heat either in the wire feeding it or the pump itself. Best I can do for an answer, yours , Rowland Baker

My machine has a 1 1/4 outlet and I use it to run about 15 feet. I feel the flow is very strong and could flow further. I do not know if it would pump up 8 feet and then out. I love the machine and wish I had gotten it years ago, I would give it a try. Marlene
