Strange Question: Will this work if continuously installed under about 12 inches of water?

It is not possible to answer the question unless you have a similar situation. Most times users attach the device directly to the spigot which is not under water. For me the device works fine. The cost is so little just buy one and find out!

IMO, the device allows water to drain out of any spigot and attached hose. This prevents freezing and any siphoning of water into a well. I don't see how it could do either of these functions if it were underwater. But I am not an expert.

I don't know why it would not work. It works very well on my above gound pool but my pool is not very deep.

I'm not sure but they do advertise that you can expand the system. This is kind of a starter kit so I would think maybe try 100' and see how powerful it is at the end of the line. Of course it will depend upon your water pressure also

As long as the "INPUT" end receives water. the "OUTPUT" end will push water. Short answer, "YES."

as long as the water tank is higher than your highest shelf, it should work. The system uses gravity to supply the water, so the tank needs to be a couple of feet higher than your highest shelf.

Ours is never completely submerged, because the float triggers the motor before it gets covered with water. I don't know how it would work if it were completely submerged. It would have to be vertical, though, for the float to work.

it'll work but not properly. if you stop the water level at the lip of the filter you are fine. as for the noise it's not noisy at all you can barely hear it!

Depends on how much water pressure you have. We have a very high water pressure and it wasn't a problem for me to have at 75' end. But if your water pressure is not good then I am sure this would be the case.

Yes it can I don't know how long before having issues I added ~12 ft. To mine

No it really dosent work that great with my 12 ft you would be better getting one from a pool supplier

Not really sure. The only concern I'd have is there a minimum water pressure. You might check with orbit.com to find out.

I can't say for sure, but the design is an interior floating insert that the suction drags it to the surface of the water. I would imagine that it would work. Mine is on a large filterr and works great. I would recommend as an inexpensive option

I don't know if this helps or not, but the box says "designed for minimum 12" sump basins"

Not sure.. but mine is submersed without any issues. Now that Im thinking about it... its probably the MINIMUM water line......

That's been my experience. I have to keep the sump perfectly level to get the results I want. So, I guess if you're able to do that it will function well.

If this is the same filter I purchased, I do not think it will work with only a few inches of water. The water has to be allmost level with the top of the filter assemply for water to be able to flow through the filter assemble from the bottom (Water intake) of the filter assembly. The filter assemble is all most 6" high so I would think the very minimum amout of water in the tank would be 6" for this filter to work.....

If you mean the tube where the air bubbles come out then no. If it is out of the water then it won't work properly. I keep mine about 1 to 1.5 inches under the water.
