i dug a well about 12 feet below grade and my water tank is 12 feet above grade will this pump have enough lift to fill my water tank .

No. You are at 24ft. lift. You need to move up to the Liberty 287 which is good for 37ft. lift. The 257 is rated for 21ft. Close but I would not try it. Better to have a rating that surpasses your needs for lift.

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.

The pump will start working automatically when the level of the water is approx 8" and stop at 4".Other pumps may be better for you. I use mine under my house in a hole that I dug.

I think so. The impellers on this pump are rubber and do an adequate job of pumping the water under a small load. I would think a 4' hose on both sides of the pump would be the extent of it's abilities to move water without putting undue strain on the impellers. In other words, 6-8 ft. would be the maximum lift I would place on the system (4' from rain barrel to pump + 4' from pump to raised bed). If your rain barrel has a faucet tap at the bottom you might increase this a bit as the head pressure from the water in the barrel would aid the pump in it's action.

I have this pump and tank. I have a diagonal lift of 20 feet. it works very well. I push 4 faucets on the back side of my home. I have good pressure when using 2 of the faucets at a time. the pump turns on frequently but the pressure has been good. I have the unit under a workbench and love the small space it requires.

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.

It strongly depends on your tank size. For my five gallon tank it was adequate at about a two foot lift, anything larger and I would not recommend it. The flow is not strong.

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 would likely depend on how high you needed the water to be "pushed" for the waterfall, but, it's a great pump. Our pool water return sits about 4 feet above the pump and no issues with that height.

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

I think it would, because the drain is at the bottom of the barrel. My question is how will you get it in place uphill. You'll have to level it somehow, s then it should work fine. I love mine!

Shallow well pumps are limited to 33 ft or 1 atmosphere . This capacity depends on altitude higher altitude will reduce suction depth

My tank was also three feet below my engine and it worked great. I'm very happy with the pump as my engine mechanical pump would not quite pull the fuel up to run properly. Now she cranks and runs as expected.

I live in Hawaii and my home is about 10 feet above sea level I could pull 28.0"- 28.5 +" hg. I ran the pump for one hour, 29.921" Hg is (absolute vacuum) so this pump is not that far off from absolute. Keep in mind atmospheric pressure and 'your' altitude affects vacuum pump performance

I bought this pump to pull water from a distance to fill my water tanks but I'm not sure it has the power to vacuum a pool.

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.

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.

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
