Will this pump up at least 6 foot high to discharge

Our pump is at the bottom of a 38 inch Koi pond. It pumps 28 inches above the water line, with a moderate flow through our filter down a rock waterfall and back into our pond. It has been doing this for over a year, at least 10 hours a day. I will say, the flow has diminished this last week. We will pull the pump and check for debris. Meanwhile, to answer your question, we are over 5.5 feet. I feel 6 feet will reduce the flo, but will do the job.

Hi, I don't know. We are not using this pump as a bilge pump, but as a solar pump in a pool. It has worked well for us. At the price, it is probably worth a try.

The manual says the ECO-264 can pump to a maximum lift of 6.5 feet. Note that if the pump is submerged, lift is measured from the surface of the water, not from the depth of the pump. So if the pump is submerged in water to a depth of 5 feet, it can pump to 6.5 feet above the surface, for a total distance, from pump to end of hose, of 11.5 feet.

My experience is to the limits of the hose supplied. Intake of two feet and discharge of three feet. Intake would be immersed in approx. 1 foot of fluid. Discharge of 2.5 feet vertical. Have not tested beyond those lengths. There was sufficient pressure to create a discharge arc of about a foot if that is of any help.

Mine is about 30' run and 6' rise, it worked great. I think yours is a little too long and too high. I am not sure if it going to work.

That depends on how high you plan on discharging as it won't pump from the floor lets say out a basement window to much lift for this pump

No. the water level needs to be above the level of the top of the pump (as Pictured) for the float valve to trun on. I suggest a Sump.

My bit is about three feet deep and the pump sits 2 feet into it on a block. The discharge pipe is approx 9 feet tall to get out of the basement wall. Hope this answers your question. Great pump

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.

My Little Giant pump sits on the floor, discharges water straight up 7' and horizontal across the floor joists 10' before draining back down into my utility sink. Works great!

Nope. According to the performance curve at http://www.horticulturesource.com/ecoplus-ecoplus-eco-264-submersible-inline-pump-p877 , it goes to zero at ~6.5 feet.

The pump can certainly pump water 3' up if the connection is narrow and the pump adjustment is on high. Mine is in a small goldfish pond and it pumps all year long in icy NH. I have never used a mist making end. The problem I see is that the water would scatter and evaporate, leaving the pump dry. If you lived nearby, I would have you come over and give it a try.

you should have a check valve in the discharge line as close to the pump as possible!

The pump, according to the manufacturer has a dry lift of approximately 12". If it is a wet lift, the pump will immediately start pumping and pump up to (I believe) 6-8 feet directly upward. The total length of the run would depend on the slope to the ultimate outlet, the number of turns (90s, 45s, etc.). If I knew more of what you are trying to do, I could provide a better answer.

Not sure...unit is buried beneath my fountain. I seem to remember a 3/4" (garden hose thread) discharge and I added an 1 1/4" expander for the riser to the top of my fountain. Hope this helps...

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

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 think it will, but the flow rate will not be full at that elevation. In all honesty I would go a little bigger.
