I'm looking for a 12v water pump to pump water from a lake about 100' linear and 5' vertical, is this it? If not any suggestions?

I think it would work but you'd want to make sure you use a larger discharge hose. 3/4" or 1" hose would reduce your head loss over that distance.

This is probably not the best choice. For each 33' of head (vertical lift of water plus restrictions in discharge line) the pump will have to overcome ~15PSI (14.7). The pump has ~ 55 PSI. Additionally these diaphragm pumps don't like any trash that may be sucked up from the lake water. Even if you put a filter, the restriction on the suction side may be too much to overcome. Technically speaking the pump should do it, but it is probably not the best choice. Additionally the pump is for intermittent use, so if you plan on pumping for a while the pump will overheat and shut off. - Good Luck

could not say for sure. I am sure the 100 feet is not a problem. If it is in a pvc pipe or garden hose. the pump is good for 50psi which should be adaquate, Not sure about the volume being reduced though

Hi Cynthia, this pump would do it, but there are better units available for your purpose. It has adequate pressure, but relatively low volume, which I estimate would be down to around 1.5 gallons per minute with your particular application. You really need to look for specifications of around 7 - 8 gpm and 60 - 70 PsiChrrs Chris

This is a good pump, although not designed for that purpose, I do believe it would pump that distance. If you are pumping through hose the auto shut off feature may not work well. I would use pvc.

This is an RV pump. I would question whether it was designed for your purpose. I would contact Shurflo at (800) 854-3218 and ask them for a recommendation. They make a variety of pumps for all purposes.

unfortunately I bought the wrong pump for the application. The water table is about 200' 1-1/4" pipe The pump sets at 285' what pump should I have bought.

I have 2 of these, I use them for 2 waterfalls in my pond at about 4 feet high. They have worked for several months without a problem. The pump is not very big, I do not have an exact number but a relaxing trickle.

typically horizontal pumping is negligible, vertical pumping is where any pump typically loses power. I use this pump for more than 13 ft vertically, and my discharge sometimes runs 60 ft plus horizontally.

The Little Giant 554421 (model: VCMA-20UL) should have no problem with 8ft high, and a 55ft distance. Mine pumps water about 8ft high and a 30ft distance. It has been extremely reliable even though I don't clean it out as often as I probably should. I have had it for 8 or so years and it runs year-round (air-conditioner in the summer, humidifier in the winter). I did have to replace the check valve, but that was probably due to going too long without being cleaned.

Yes, that will work. Be mindful that you don't try to run it through 3/4 for more than a few feet though. It's a great little pump!

Yo David, go to the specifications, listed below your picture. They will give you width, height, length, weight and all other technical information. The unit, you are looking at has a vertical rise of 7-8 feet. Your county code will dictate the depth of your water pipe, 3 feet recommended. If your structure is elevated be sure to add the additional height. Don't. exceed the capacity of the pump, good luck--Jorden

yes - we use a 12 volt pump when camping. But not with this - it leaked after one use. I would not recommend it.

More depends on the vertical distance than the horizontal distance. I doubt 100 ft would be a problem if the hose were full of water to begin with. There would be some interior friction, but negligible. Again, my assumption. These pumps do not pump out fire house streams or with great pressure. If you look at the gallons per minute, you'll have a fair idea.

I've used these pumps on both 6 volt and 12 volt. Output pressure is 4 to 5 pounds

i have this unit and yes you would . or you could add some wire to the wire coming off the pump the length of the wire is up to you. but you will more than likely will set this up in camp recirculating your water so no creek needed . i run mine into 5gal bucket then into a 25gal bin with the pump in it

Sorry for the late reply.Unfortunately I cannot help you with this situation but I suggest that you check the specification of the 12v water pump.With my best wishes to find the solution

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?

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.

The sump pump on this is 12volts and is replacable but you should still have a main sump for the primary pumping.Hope this helps Dave

It is a very small, weak little pump. It is great for some applications, but will fall short for anything requiring much flow or lift. I believe it maxed out at 3'-4', but I only needed 18" of lift for my project so it was fine for my needs. Don't forget to put some sort of protection on it to prevent it from running dry, it will kill it.

I purchased a flo-jet 2.9 gpm pump which runs off a 12 volt deep cycle marine battery. you will still need a small garden hose. I made my own quick connectors. I use this at my remote hunting cabin in northern Michigan.
