I'm using this to make water boil, would this vacuum pump be sufficient enough to get the pressure low enough?

This vac unit will create minus 5 to 8 lbs in a container with VERY small volume. In other words it will draw the air out of a brake line with a dia. of 3/16 inch. You do the math.

No it would not. In addition to not generating enough vacuum, the flaws in this device would not hold the vacuum pressure long enough for the water to boil.

I am not sure about your application but if the previous pump was vacume(pressure pulse) operated, this should work for you.

Honestly im not really sure i know it has a good amount of pressure. The smaller hose may just cause less flow. Smaller pump would be cheaper and hose would fit too.

It should. We have two of these pumps, one running about eight feet with an immediate rise about four feet. The second pump is pushing water though a 1.5" hose going 30-40ft with a 6 ft rise and their is no lose of power -- seems to operate with the same pressure as the shorter run -- based on our experience, I think you should be fine.

Since this pump does not use electricity it should work. You would need to manually turn on the water faucet you've hooked it up to for it to suction water.

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.

Doubtful, this will only deliver 3-6lbs of pressure, it isn't a high volume pump.

If you are running a 12-volt system, you can run this pump. It generates good pressure and smooth flow with less noise than cheaper pumps. It stops when the tap is turned off. Good by me.

If you need a lot of volume vs pressure it may not. The tank on this compressor is small. I use it to blow out the water lines in our RV. I set the air pressure at about 30PSI.

I am not sure, but you don't need to put a lot of pressure to use it. It should work fine.

The vacuum pump I use has a pressure gauge on it or you can run it through your gauges.

Yes, certainly. My main use for this is to place a multilevel steamer that is too tall to stick on the range. The water boils just fine.

I think it would give you enough pressure. This is a great little machine. I threw away my iron! Hoe this helps!

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

If you plan on running an pool vacuum from your filter you may want more power, that's the mistake I made. If you are not going to be doing that, then this pump should work. It's a good filter, but you're on the border line of whether it's to small. If you do get it you'll have to run it all the time compared to a more powerful filter. Sorry I couldn't help more. Hope all goes well

That is a good question. It doesn't appear to have high discharge pressure, so I don't think it would do too well. I have pumped from the ground level up higher with no real problem. Probably any sort of restriction would keep the flow way down. Keep in mind that the pump is driven by a battery.

Hey,i think it would work great for that purpose i would try though to make sure the pump is below or lower then the tank,good luck Pat
