how high can this pump water out ?

It depends on the size of the output tube, the narrower the higher it would go.... Physics.... However I pump mine with a 1 inch diameter pipe and it pumps up at least 6 feet to my sewer line. I'm pretty sure it would pump higher than that if it had to.

15ft. It is worth every penny. (info from http://www.homedepot.com/p/Flotec-1-3-HP-Economy-Pedestal-Sump-Pump-FPPM3600D/100175651#specifications)

We have used it to pump water up about five feet with good success. It will not pump every last drop up that far because once air starts to flow through the system it loses its power--but you'll get that with every pump. So about an inch or so remains in our reservoir. Our imit pumps very frequently, and it has held up well so far.

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."

I have a 2500 pump and my goes higher than that, it goes about 10-15 feet up and yes the valve should be shut for the waterfall action, less waterfall open valve as needed.

I pump from about 10 feet, but I think the hose is 25', and output hose shorter, maybe 10'. I pump into my fresh water tank of camper, and that's the only thing I use the pump for. But its great - off/on switch a must.

Not sure. I'm not using the pump for direct outflow out of the house. Sorry I can't be of assistance

I use it with well water pressure about 45 psi Not sure how high you can go

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

The pressure from your pump my be too strong. You don't want the water level to be higher than the filter pad . The water should be trickling out of the tube with the holes in it onto the filter pad. If the water is too high it will come out the airhole on the side of the filter. I hope this helps. Judy

This is a suction type pump all of the pump is in the part you see in the picture, This pump is made to pump out of shallow aquifers or out of a water storage system, that is under it. If your asking about horizontal, a pipe could most likely be 5 miles long horizontaly level, and if it was full of water NO AIR in it and the rise was not more than 20 feet it would probably pump out of it with out problems. to the pump for the most part all it is seeing is the height or the distance/depth to water, (a check valve/foot valve, should be used to keep the suction pipe full, The pump will only pump water out of the spout of the pump, as there is no seal or way of attaching a pipe to the pump to pump above the unit,

I believe you will not be satisfied with this pump in that application. It move a fairly high volume of water a low pressure on an almost level plane, such as from the bilge of a small boat. Pumping 7 feet elevation will really tax its capacity.

You may need a different kind of pump. This is an submersible pump...you stick it in the water. I wish it did work connected to the bib. Second, I have not tried to pump that high. I'd have to test it. I've done a 4-5 foot rise successfully. But nothing close to 8 feet. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has be able to get it to pump up to 8 feet.

The manufacturer suggests pumping at the high spot. I always follow the manufacturers' instructions. I had mine installed by a plumber who put the venture at the high point.

I pump water up eight feet. They call that the lift height. I can empty a 650 gallon tank in about 20 min pumping it 8 feet straight up. I should also say I have been using it every day for about 7 months with no problem.

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

We use it to pump lake water into our live well of pontoon. Works absolutely beautiful . Guess I don't know the pumping height. Sorry

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.
