How high will it pump water? what is the flow rate at what height?

Was not impressed at all. Wanted to use it to pump water from a coy pond into a rain barrel, maybe 5' high. Pump had difficulty filling the hose.

I pump water up eight feet. They call that the lift height. I can empty a 650 gallon tank in about 20 min pumping it 8 feet straight up. I should also say I have been using it every day for about 7 months with no problem.

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

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

We use it to pump lake water into our live well of pontoon. Works absolutely beautiful . Guess I don't know the pumping height. Sorry

@ 3 - 4 feet under warter and 2 - 4 feet above for a waterfall. It is the best pump I have used.

You may need a different kind of pump. This is an submersible pump...you stick it in the water. I wish it did work connected to the bib. Second, I have not tried to pump that high. I'd have to test it. I've done a 4-5 foot rise successfully. But nothing close to 8 feet. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has be able to get it to pump up to 8 feet.

I don't have time to look at the specs, but the number 15 usually means it will pump water vertically a max of 15 feet.

Little Giant 554421 VCMA-20 is design to lift water up to 15'. If you lift water to 1' up only, water flow can be as big as 80GPH. For 9' lift up your flow will be 55GPH.I do not understand "55' down". If you want to move water from 55' BELOW pump, it will not work. If you need to move water to the distance of 55' long, you need to try bigger ID hose if you meet some limitation.

Not sure the flow rate specs but it works fine when running on my low pump setting.

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps. Good luck :) L

You may need to adjust the flow switch on the pump - it may be at the lowest setting and you'll need to move it up. Also make sure everything is lined up properly so that the water can flow to the top. Good luck!

Brand new the pump was able to draw well above 6"... But after it was run for a while (often times dry) it would not reliably draw above 15"... I relocated my pumpbelow water level and it still works fine. It's a little slower than I would like so I may be replacing it with a larger pump.

Mine pumps over five feet without a problem. Those condensate pumps are intended to pump both height and distance. Hope that's helpful.

According to specifications will pump up to 10 feet with little loss of flow (over 2000 gallons per hour). 15 feet up seems its limit with flow dropping to 1140 GPH. It won't make it to 20 feet, flow listed as "off."

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.

The height doesn't matter. The pump is basically a valve that is turned on and off.

The pump is rated at 2.9 psi. Performance drops off significantly at higher pressures. I'd get a different pump, I notice a significant drop in flow between 3 and 4 feet.
