what is the max depth the pump will draw water?
999061
we have a 10' deep well and works well. Do not know max depth though it can draw
999062
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 do not know, we draw from a shallow well and push up hill a couple hundred feet? works well for that

My pump is located roughly 60ft from the water source. The lake I pull water from is roughly 5 ft deep, consequently my foot value and the pipe covered by water is approximately 3 ft . Pipe joins a 90 deg coupling that hooks into piping running Parallel with the ground with a slight incline. It runs 7 sprinklers very effectively.

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.

Based on my experience with this pump, even though the specs show a maximum depth of 220 feet, I would not use it for anything except a bilge pump in a boat. I would not recommend it for use in a well unless the well was really shallow. My customer installed it in a well where the water was 100 feet deep and the pump failed after 4 months. The chinese manufacturer of the Seaflo tried to duplicate the well-known Shurflo 9300 well pump but motor they designed was weak and ended up getting overheated.

I believe Mr. Shain in correct on the specs. Our pool is around 5 feet deep at the deepest area. we attached a 50 ft. hose to the pump, set it in the pool. Began on the lower steps of the pool and moved it to the middle once it had lowered the water to around 2 ft. in height. Pumped it out and through the hose to an area 25 to 30 ft. away with no problems. it's just a 1/4 HP so it isn't tremendously fast but it is quiet, lightweight, easy to handle, and it did a very good job for us. If your in a rush I'd suggest a larger HP. Other than that? We found it to be a good investment.

I cannot answer with precision, but was able to drain a swimming pool that is over 6 feet deep down to about 1/4 inch left. I hooked a water hose to it and the pump did a great job....

This Wel-Bilt Shallow Well Pump has a maximum suction lift of 26 feet, It is recommended to have your pump as close to the water source as possible.

can't answer that; husband bought this to pump out a small "fountain" we had. Worked great for that. the fountain is more of a "pool"/water feature at front door. Maybe 2.5 ft deep probably 10 ft by 4 ft

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.

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

pump only simply plug directly in (no switch) run a few seconds if wanting to test whole assembly including switch depth on and off.. lower into 5 gallon bucket approx 13 inches depth, should turn on. but beware, the water will pump out and douse you if not prepared. Call for better clarificationCSH

According to specifications will pump up to 10 feet with little loss of flow (over 2000 gallons per hour). 15 feet up seems its limit with flow dropping to 1140 GPH. It won't make it to 20 feet, flow listed as "off."

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.

Up to six feet. Pretty weak stream. New battery operated pump is nowhere near as good as the manual pump which I believe is no longer available.

Little Giant 554421 VCMA-20 is design to lift water up to 15'. If you lift water to 1' up only, water flow can be as big as 80GPH. For 9' lift up your flow will be 55GPH.I do not understand "55' down". If you want to move water from 55' BELOW pump, it will not work. If you need to move water to the distance of 55' long, you need to try bigger ID hose if you meet some limitation.

According to the specs from http://www.riopump.net/products_pumps/Rioplus_desc.html it should be able to lift water to a max of 2'.

The pump is super efficient down to a 1 foot depth, then gets less efficient until it quits at a depth of 2 to 3 inches. When it is close to finishing, put the pump in the lowest spot you can find.

You can go pretty deep with this pump. But remember the deeper you go the less volume and pressure you will have. You could go 500 ft deep but performance will be greatly reduced than it would be at lets say 200 ft. I run at 150 ft and performance is great.
