Will this pump lift water 18"???

The chart on the side of the box says that at 0ft, it goes 120gph, 1ft is 85 gph, and 2 feet is 45gph. So, you're talking about a pretty slow flow rate at 18". It doesn't say if that's vertical lift or just the distance of the tubing, but the effectiveness will depend on what you're using it for.

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 will work but the hose size is different, so you would have to reduce your hose size. Otherwise it would work.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

I don't know for sure and have no way of testing it for you. It is a very powerful pump and I am guessing it could push air that far down.

Yo David, go to the specifications, listed below your picture. They will give you width, height, length, weight and all other technical information. The unit, you are looking at has a vertical rise of 7-8 feet. Your county code will dictate the depth of your water pipe, 3 feet recommended. If your structure is elevated be sure to add the additional height. Don't. exceed the capacity of the pump, good luck--Jorden

Yes it will. I have one I'll sell you for $20. I used it once. It works but is louder than my other pump in my rv.

A little more than 4 psi. It is rated to lift water 9.8 feet which equates to 4.24 psi. You won't be able to use this particular pump for a shower.

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 would think so but, have no proof of that. My pump has great pressure but, only pushes up 4 or five feet.

The whole point of the pump is for it to pump water that accumulates on a solid cover...so yes, it will work.

I'm not sure the small pump will lift water that high. Changing and cleaning the filter, however, is the bigger question. I don't think I want to be swimming in 3 to 4 feet of Pondwater every time the filter needs cleaned. I think these work best in 2 feet of water.

Might be close. I know the main pump is less than 11 inchs but the backup may end up above the pit if its at 16inchz

Um... maybe. It will lift water about 6 inches maybe a little more if you choke the output. It comes with an extension tube and a couple of different spray attachments. I think it would be easy to attach a small hose to it.

My installation will draw water up about 8', depending on your city water pressure, I would think it will have no problem pumping up 8'

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.

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.

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.
