I need a pump to pump water about 25' elevation up a hill to a larger tank will this work

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

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.

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.

i would say yes ...THis pump is not made for a head over 5-6 ft.Perfect for a location not easy to get electric to.Good luck

Well, it depends on your hose size, but with a half-inch tube, this pump is gonna push your water a good ways up. Several feet, at least. I wish I could get up and actually do it for you, but, alas, I'm not able to at the moment! It's a very powerful little pump! And quiet, too!

Good Evening Ana Laura Lewellen. If your well is a shallow well with above ground equipment, Yes the pump will work. Are you using the existing expansion tank?

There should be absolutely no problem with a longer horizontal run - especially if it ends with a 1 or 2 foot drop into the sump. The 20' tubing probably represents this pump's maximum pumping height. At 20' straight up, you would probably get barely a trickle.

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.

I live at 6500' elevation and install tankless here. The T-K4-IN-LP will work at that elevation.

That's a long haul... Hope the point is not too deep.... Anyway the pump inlet is 1 1/4 so you'll want to adapt down from 1.5 pipe to 1.25 right near the pump

It did not work for my in ground. It would not prime when above the water level. If your pump sits below water level it may work for you.

Yes, it will work. Check the discharge requirements for your system. Pumps with 2" in and 2" out are available.

You will have to put on an adapter to fit it to a garden house although I am guessing that you could find the necessary parts for less than $10 in a hardware store. I would guess that it could pump 100 feet without too much trouble as long as you are not going uphill too much.

It will work, however if you use you pool allot or it gets dirty easily I would go with a bigger pump.

This a one powerful pump. It pumps my pool cover after heavy rains very quickly. The hose is 25 feet long and approximately 2 1/2 to 3 feet above the pump. While I can't really say with certainty that it will do what you need it to do, based upon the job it does for me, I feel confident that it will perform beyond your expectations. Good Luck! :-)

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.

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!
