On the suction side, how high will it prime and lift. My tank is around 3 ft deep.?

My tank was also three feet below my engine and it worked great. I'm very happy with the pump as my engine mechanical pump would not quite pull the fuel up to run properly. Now she cranks and runs as expected.

Right at 20ft. This thing has more suction power than any of them. I really like mine.

Very quiet. Only on for a few seconds. Yes it will push water 21'. There is a limit on how high you need to lift the water though.

you need to have some type of skimmer or device that would allow the pump to maintain suction hard for any skimmer device at that depth pumps break suction then no pumping. the skimmer included does well an this pump does not have strong suction it does well to the advertised 1/8 inch. pumping up hill or pumping head is only a few feet another problem. depends on your circumstance. sounds like you need a wet vacuum. at 1/8 theres not much left to pump, all in all a good pump-for my uses.

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.

Ours is a 1/3 and ran about every 30 seconds to a minute when it was really wet last fall with no problems. The lift is about 5 feet then about 50 foot of hose.

I am not quite sure what you are asking. The hose can reach to the bottom (you can elevate the tank if needed) and it will pull the water up. There are extensions to make the hose go farther. You may need to empty it many times depending on how large the tank is. I use it to empty a hot-tub.

It all depends on what level you set the height of the vacuum if that's possible. If you don't set it too low or too high it does great!

It depends on the size of the compressor. I bought it for a 5 ton compressor, so I have to assume it will be more that big enough for your 3.5 ton unit. Answer: Yes, it's big enough!

Yes, I would say it should be deeper than about 2 feet for the suction to work properly.

I have a 75 gallon tank and i don't get wet, the end with the suction tube is about 10.25". Hope this helps.

Many answering this are wrong. I bought this as a terrarium for baby turtles we rescued from our pool. I bought some pvc hose and extended the intake tube even lower to reach the water in the terrarium. The pump was still strong enough to prime. The water can be quite low and still have the system function.

I havent figured out how to adjust it but it should work on the floor, should start pumping at about 2" deep

The part that goes under the tank is very flat, So it should be pretty level. So yea this will work

It can be on the same level as the tank. You may need to use the primer more when it is higher since it wont start to siphon into the filter.

This Wel-Bilt Shallow Well Pump has a maximum suction lift of 26 feet, It is recommended to have your pump as close to the water source as possible.

I have mine about a half of an inch out of the tank. I just used a suction cup to keep the magnets apart.
