I have aprox. A 3ft. Lift an a 3ft. Push . The suction is a 1 1/2 line. Will this pump work? Thanks. Ron

I don't know Ron. Mine are installed only inches above the waterline and discharge slightly above that. I don't think you will have a problem with the 3 foot head but that is just a guess. Good luck to you.

I'm afraid I can't help with this one. My macerator is below the bottom of the holding tank and pumps down through a thru-hull seacock, so there's comparison. Sorry.

Ron, If it's not primed, it will burn out the pump pretty fast. You might look for a pump that does not have to be pre-primed.They cost quite a bit more, but they do make them. Instructions on this pump say, the pump gas to be level or below the hose that leads out of holding tank.

Technically, it is not lifting but pushing - there is a limit to what a vacuum pump can pull, so I think this type of pump can push more - of course this type of pump also has a limit. I use it to reach into my sailboat bilge located in its shoal draft keel, then up to the lower edge of the hatch opening & out. I need to extend my whole arm down there to touch bottom with my shoulder a few inches below the hatch opening, so I estimate the total vertical distance is about 3 feet 4 inches. This unit easily pumps water up that height, and still pumps it out at a healthy velocity. It's also the only pump I have found that can fit into that very small space.

Technically, that's 3 feet above its rated maximum head (which is 21 feet). That doesn't mean it won't work for that application. It would just be less efficient than a larger pump with higher head rating. It also depends on how often the pump will run. Forcing the pump to push a higher column of water than its rated would probably make it wear out sooner.

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 can not say. The vacuum requires a minimum gpm. You would need to check both your pumps specifications and the stated requirment of the vacuum.

You didn't qualify if your current delivery system is a water pump or gravity feed. This type of pump should provide 40psi at all three outlets if your vertical rise doesn't exceed 7'. I bought one of these pumps and returned it. Customer service was virtually non-existant---

Yes, it will work; however, the outlet/inlet may face in the opposite direction as your old pump - this may or may not make the difference as both ends of your frame should be accessible for the hose and pressure line. This unit uses the same bolt pattern as your motor - but, only three bolts hold it.

No. it actually works better the higher it is because it pulls better than it pushes. Moving it to the high point of the pumping cycle takes full advantage of its suction strength.

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 can't see why it shouldn't work. On the other hand why not just get a Holley electric pump. I know that will work.

You have a central vacuum system, as your number indicates, therefore I doubt it will work. However my research was limited.

Hello, I have 2 inch incoming and 1.5 out going. I use my pump for for a booster pump for an R.O. System. Works great.

Um... maybe. It will lift water about 6 inches maybe a little more if you choke the output. It comes with an extension tube and a couple of different spray attachments. I think it would be easy to attach a small hose to it.

I would guess the flow rate of this pump would be too high. I use 3/8" hose and it is almost as strong as an streaming garden hose.

Doubtful, the base of the suction unit is at least that thick as it lays flat on the ground, and you would constantly be losing prime on the pump, most likely burn up the impeller.

Yes, it will work, however, it may create a stronger flow than anticipated. This flow can be diminished by increasing the height and distance from the pump to the filter, as needed and desired.

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.
