How strong of a vacuum can this pump pull?

Mine pulled 29 and am happy with it so far. since they don't get used that often,you just need to take care of them in between times.

I live at about 1800 ft above sea level, and every time I have used this pump, it has pulled 29 inches of vacuum without problem. It helps to ensure that you have high quality vacuum pump oil in the pump to the proper level BEFORE beginning your operations.

The best I could get was 25 in of mercury which was good enough to service an automotive AC system

I live in Hawaii and my home is about 10 feet above sea level I could pull 28.0"- 28.5 +" hg. I ran the pump for one hour, 29.921" Hg is (absolute vacuum) so this pump is not that far off from absolute. Keep in mind atmospheric pressure and 'your' altitude affects vacuum pump performance

Yes, provided you have the ThriftyVac Check Valve Adapter. However, you can get a much stronger vacuum using the manual pump that comes with the ThriftyVac system, and you would not need an adapter.

I don't have any specs, but I can tell you the pump works for my application. I use it to augment the engine vacuum on my 1997 Volvo S90. When accelerating or climbing a long grade, the vacuum drops and the HVAC, which is vacuum controlled, fails into default. The reason for this is a small leak that is not easily repaired. I know where the leak is but to fix it requires dismantling the whole HVAC unit. SO I installed this small pump through a check valve and controlled by a rocker switch. If I notice the HVAC is malfunctioning, I flip the pump on with the switch. The pump is very small but it pulls a strong vacuum with a small displacement. CFM would not be appropriate measure. Cubic inches per minute might be better. I would doubt if it is continuous duty device. As I said it works for this application. I would guess that it draws perhaps one amp.

you can use a vacuum line on the car eg brake booster or a mightvac hand held vacuum pump.

I bought this pump to pull water from a distance to fill my water tanks but I'm not sure it has the power to vacuum a pool.

This pulls a full negative pressure easily. My vacuum oven Guage hits -29hg and it maxes it out within 2 minutes

The pump runs on our pool while the cover is on. I'm not sure about a vacuum.

This pump is designed for automotive & refrigeration. It will pull about 26-28 inches of mercury and can run for 1-2 hrs at a time.I use it for evacuating automotive AC compressor lines before charging the system. Hope this helps

I looked up the specs on this hand vac (Shark Pet Perfect II) and it weighs 4.354 lbs. It's a great little vacuum for "pull," however, it has a persistent loud shrill sound when it's "working." Maybe I'll wear earplugs!

I would estimate the "The Cube" will routinely pull about 15 inches of mercury worth of vacuum... I've only needed to use mine a couple of times since acquiring it, but there was not much problem getting to about 15 inches...

As I could never get mine to work I gave it away. I spent 500$ on a bigger pump but it wouldn't work either. Don't buy this loser, go to Pinch A Penny and buy their vacuum that fits on the return. Cost is less than 200$.

It depends I guess on how low of a vacuum you need, this pump will get below 200 Millitorr/Microns with no problems, that's about 25 inches of vacuum. The 2-stages makes it get there faster. Hope this answers your question.

Need to buy the gauges to see your inch of vacuum. Any pump will work just need the right gauges for it.

The suction is very strong.... I liked this so much I replaced my canister vac with a Miele Capri. I use this for floors only because it is too heavy for me to use as a dustbuster etc....

I don't think it would be too strong, but on rugs it is like any other vacuum, when you get close to the edges it will get sucked up and you have to turn if off to release it.

No, the pump has too low a flow rate plus it is designed to pull a hard vacuum required for HVAC systems.

This is a vacuum pump - it just pulls air. It sounds like you need an air compressor, which has a tank on it.
