how high can the pump send water?

My unit pumps from my basement floor up to where the A/C pipes leave the basement wall, about 6' vertical, has run for months with no problem.

I have mine on the floor and it is able to pump it to a sink adjacent using the hose provided. About 4 feet higher.

I have our unit set up to drain down into our sump pump well. So I am not sure, I know the manufacturer claims 16' in distance, but not sure how high. I would guess at least 6'-7'? (typical basement window height?). We are very happy with our unit, clean design, easy to use, pretty quiet. Good luck...

A quick Google search of "Superior Pump 91250" yields the manufacturers specs. I do not see PSI listed but "Pumps will lift water up to 25' of vertical height" I belive answers your question...there is a chart on the "Performance" tab that shows 30 GPM at 0' lift and 2 GPM at 25' lift...with flow rates every 5' listed.http://superiorpump.com/products/utility/91250.html

The height doesn't matter. The pump is basically a valve that is turned on and off.

Yes, that is how mine is set up (pump is on the second floor though). As long as the water can circulate in a loop, you should not have any problem. I believe that "head", in this case, is referring more to resistance than actual height. This pump is just made to move water, not pressurize it, so it should work at any height as long as the water is "falling" back down to where it is drawn from without much resistance. At least that's how I understand it.

For pumps of this type it is about 26 feet. A person could put another pump below and push up to this pump. Or, put this pump on the water.

I don't have time to look at the specs, but the number 15 usually means it will pump water vertically a max of 15 feet.

Technically, that's 3 feet above its rated maximum head (which is 21 feet). That doesn't mean it won't work for that application. It would just be less efficient than a larger pump with higher head rating. It also depends on how often the pump will run. Forcing the pump to push a higher column of water than its rated would probably make it wear out sooner.

It pumps as high as the hose reaches. I did not make it longer but did take the handle off to get the extra length I needed. I have pumped over 50 gal so far on the same set of batteries. It works good.

I pushed it uphill about 150 feet with no issue. Please remember - this is a low pressure pump so if you are going to be just moving water, it is great. If you are looking for moving and pressure, you will not get.

10-15 feet. Be sure to clean/flush pump out after every use with water/vinegar or it will very well stop working.

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

I have a Bosch tankless water heater that sit's about 7 foot high on a wall. My water softner is 2 foot below and and mine required more flow than this pump provided when it was mount in the wall. The housing has to fill up completely before overflowing to the exit.

The pump has an automatic water level switch, not sure about height of discharge

Mine is almost going up 3 1/2 ft, Flow is the same as if it were lower. The only thing is priming it. You will need a bucket and some towels. Just bring the out-spout to the bucket on the floor, let it run for a few seconds as the water starts flowing and lift it up to the level of the tank with the bucket. This would be the only issue with such a high lift.

No not really, pump needs to be approx. 4" from surface otherwise the top of the fountain head's not above the water surface! You could place on blocks or a few stacked large rock to raise it near the water surface. It would be 'just' enough to keep the water from stagnating while producing vary small fountain but little more...

We bought this pump for our utility sink in the basement. It works well for us, pumping up the pipe 8' in height. You may want to check the manufacturer's specs if further information is needed. Sorry I could not provide further information.

Yes. I have it sitting on the floor in my basement, next to my dehumidifier. The way I have the unit set up it pumps the water vertically for 80 inches , then horizontally 12 feet where it exits the basement wall to the outside.
