Sorry I have no idea what the suction head of the pump is. It was installed in a boat to supply a live well. In that case the suction head was practically 0. Have you considered an e-mail.

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

depends on the lift (how high you are pumping) I am getting about 2500 GPH , but it has a lot more suction for the pool vacum than the little Intex pump and filter I was using. Now have a sand filter and it has plenty of pressure to get the water thru it and room to pump up to the solar on the roof.

Please send me an email at Teia11@PacBell.net and I will send you my phone number. I have used my pump for about six months, and I'm very, very happy with it. Sorry to hear you are Experiencing installation challenges.

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, 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.

Around 14". Pretty simple fix the old one I assume is dry rotted as was mine. I would suggest cleaning fingers while your that far in. Make sure you clean up where gasket makes contact with pump head to prevent any leaks.

Yes. It will work in a 55gal drum. Just don't to drop the unit as it will become loud like a jackhammer.

Tim, I could not find that info anywhere on my pump, but I will say that I used it in my basement to pump out flood water.basement floor was 10 feet below ground and it delivered about 1400 gph at that height pumping up out of my basement

Ditto on what Adam said. I use this on my 50 gallon reef and it does a great job, but flows quickly so be prepared. Honestly, I think this would be overkill on a 10 gallon...you may not have time to effectively vacuum due to the high flow rate. On a side note, the hose isn't the greatest quality and tends to kink if you don't pay attention.

About 8 foot or so I have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets. I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

If you mean "Can this pump lift water 50 ft?" then the answer is No. The theoretical maximum is 33 ft, and that would require a vacuum pump. The pump inlet needs to be no more than 3 ft above the water level or the pump will suck nothing. If the pump inlet is close to the water, this pump will pump the water up 120 ft.

I have the pump for up to 1000 gallons, it doesn't seem to work too well and it's DEFINITELY NOT overpowered. I would have to go to the larger size to get the power and pumping action I need in my 850 gallon pond. I cannot begin to guess about a 50 gallon pond/pump.

Hi Rolf...not too sure of your question, but when i had it we used it for our septic tank (in the caribbean)...it was okay...the sceptic was about 5-6 feet deep. Honestly it was a bit sometimish (as in sometimes that ball thing wouldn't activate the pump). we got a new one recently for another part of home....We live near a lagoon and its filled land so when the tide is high sometimes the water backs up...the one we got is the Red Lion Rl-SC50V 1/2 HP Cast Iron Sump Pump with Vertical Switch. its available on amazon...highly recommended. it has a much better activator switch (im sorry im not into the correct technical jargon)...hope this helps...but the pump you're asking about was still pretty good

It pumps as high as the hose reaches. I did not make it longer but did take the handle off to get the extra length I needed. I have pumped over 50 gal so far on the same set of batteries. It works good.

I have a 100 gal tank and it works great for me. The pump is great. With any of these pumps if you have to high of demand it's not the pumps fault if it can't keep up. I would purchase another if I needed one tomorrow. It's a good pump.

Hello J. Taneri, I've never really pumped any distance with mine the only info I could give you is what I have done with mine-I've pumped from a stream- with the pump drawing the water from about 8 feet down to a barrel in my Jeep and the discharge hose is app 12 feet long. It took awhile to fill the 55 gallons maybe about 3 gal per minute. Maybe I was over exerting the pump the way I was using it??? I failed to prime the pump one time i got too impatient and burned the impeller. I got a replacement and it works fine again. any other questions please ask. jerry mayers Hello J.
