Can this pump be used to pump water from a 50 gal water drum its about 4ft high

Absolutely. You'll need a 12v power supply or car battery and a discharge hose that can be bought at Lowe's or home depot, for about $10.

It will not fit a garden hose as is, you will have to rig up some type of adapter. As for pumping water 50 or 100 feet as long as you keep cranking the handle it will pump.

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.

This pump works good for me. I pump water from a 55 gallon barrel about 8 feet to a shower.I'm not sure it will "lift" water from 15 feet or not?Look at a bigger pump. It's your call.

Yes as long as you dont try to pump more than 3 feet up hill. Pump only has 3 ft rise?

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!

I would not recommend using as a home sump pump. It isn't fast enough for the task, and has lift limitations. I use mine to remove water from a 33 foot round pool cover, does the job but gets clogged easily making cleaning of it often.

It will pump 4ft high, but don't expect high pressure. It was good enough, though, to keep our 35 gallon turtle tank clear and clean at about that head height.

I used this one in 2 to 4 feet drums to pump water out to my plants. At the tail end I see wind blown leaves etc. around the pump; However all the water is being pumped out. I think it is a nice big pump for the price. I may buy another one for muy back yard plants......

Don't think so. A pump that does that needs lifting power. This is not designed to have much lift, just pushing the water out (head). I use these pumps for coolant on machine shop tools. They sit in an oil mixture their entire life and pump not so clean liquid (metal particulates). In that application they perform fine, pumping (not lifting) the liquid about 4' maximum. I'm amazed at how long they last (some over 2 years and still going). They also sit unused for long periods (weeks or months) and fire up without a hiccup when needed.

We are lucky to have very high water pressure in our area, so I had no problem pumping at about 75 feet. I have not tried it at the 100 feet you are asking about. It is a great pump. Far exceeds the other 3 I tried.

Absolutely - it is a great pump. We use it hooked up to our water tank, and the longest distance to which the pump provides water is probably over 100 feet. Something to remember is - never run this pump dry; it will burn even after seconds of running dry. Whenever we close the water line to change the water filter - we always unplug the pump first.

I have this pump and filter on a 24'x54" above ground and it is more than capable. I love it and I don't think you will go wrong with this set up.

I wouldn't think so. I could not get mine to pump water from 19 feet, let alone as they claim 25 feet. I tried to send mine back, they didn't want it, just refunded my money.Can't figure out out how you could set it at that angle. My wife uses min as a decorative item in her flower garden. About all it its good for.

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 you can , but this pump is too big for that kind of job . i think you are better off with an electric submerge one.

It would work. But I think u should go to 500 gph or higher. These pumps were made to pump short distances
