I will be pumping out of a 350 gal. tote 5 feet above ground. will this pump provide adequate pressure &amp; gpm for my L5 eccotemp portable shower

I have this pump and use a 350 gal tote myself. My tote is ground level and I pump out the top with a garden hose. The pump provides real good pressure for my shower, matter of fact I can only turn the shower on about half way as the shower water heater cannot keep pace with the water from the pump. The pump has a screw in the front that allows you to turn the water pressure up or down. I just left it set as it came from the factory. What I would like to know from you is how well does the shower work? I have been considering buying one and replacing the shower water heater I have. ralphmorgan at msn dot com.

Yes it will. I have a 1/2 hp 10 gpm submersible pump set to 50- 75psi. My well is for lawn irrigation and water trough for cattle. I have done this for years. A pump technician had suggested this to me to solve a "short cycling " problem. We regularly would hand water with one hose going and the pump was cutting off and on very frequently. I turned up pressure till the pump would run constantly with one hose only in operation. I also Highly recommend the low pressure cut off feature as this can save your pump if you run out of water.

Sir, I live by the Grand Canyon. Everyone heare uses a shallow well pump. The water tanks are buried 34" in the ground for a rise of three feet to the pump and then the house. This is a shallow well system. It has no effect on your hot water. The flow rate, 4GPM is irrelevant. The pump has an internal pressure gauge to deliver approximately 40 GPM to your home

If you need a lot of pressure you can use this. It wouldn't take long for it to go through 5 gallons. Are you going to turn the pump on only when cleaning? Or will it run consistently?

I don't have any experience with the pump referred. Only used it for my phone and electronics. Seems to work for this application.

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

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

Shallow well pumps are limited to 33 ft or 1 atmosphere . This capacity depends on altitude higher altitude will reduce suction depth

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.

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

In my review I added this info about the pump:On the box it shows these numbers for performance (actually on a bar graph)at 0 vertical lift you get 2400gphat 5 foot lift 2000gphat 10 foot lift 1400gphat 15 foot lift 900gphIt doesn't show higher than 15 foot, so I doubt it's recommended for higher.

The pump works very well. I have seen pressure as high as 85 psi. This is not recommended as it could cause pipes to burst. Set presser switch to 60 cut off, 40 to cut on.

This is not a high pressure pump. I run 3 impact sprinklers off of each of my two Wayne 100 pumps. Their performance changes if I run them very far uphill . This is a good pump to move a lot of water , (volume) but not at high pressure. You can find out more info at the Wayne website. They rate it up to 70 psi at less than 10 feet of head. you will want to get familiar with the "head" rating for pumps to help you select a pump for your needs.

The pump is small and accurate but has a limited lower range, in most cases...depending on your need and the psi range it should do the job.

Advertised to do 1250-1450 GPH- but that will depend on the depth from which you pump. It is a good pump and buy estimation, I think you can calculate it will pump at least a 1000 GPH from a depth of 10 feet on a continous basis if it is a new pump and a steady electrical flow of 110 V. The weight is due to cast iron. In years past when it was made in Wayne, Ohio and not China, I think it was made of aluminum and very easy to handle.

I have only used this system connected to a hose bib. That being said, a pump could be used, but would need to have a capable of about 30 to 40 psi and maybe 1 to 3 gallons per minute. And, even then you may want to have a valve in line to throttle it back the gpm even more.

Yes definitely. What's nice is that you can vary the speed of the pump (and set that in the programming) for the perfect gpm to make the pop-ups work most efficiently. Most floor systems (i.e. Caretaker) only require 12-15 psi on the gauge to work correctly. Don't use too much pressure on the floor system. Consult the owners manual for correct/optimum pressure. Another big plus is that the floor system on needs to work for a couple hours (unless your pool is a leaf pit! lol). So you can run the higher speed for the floor system for say 2 hours then set another program for say 8 hours at a very low (and energy saving) speed of roughly 1000rpm (better than 3450 rpm on standard motors!). Hope this helps!!
