To what maximum height can a pump be used to pump water?
How does atmospheric pressure affect the maximum height a pump can pump water?
Atmospheric pressure does have an effect on the maximum height a pump can pump water. The higher the elevation of the pump above sea level, the lower the atmospheric pressure, and hence, the lower the maximum height the pump can deliver water. However, the effect of atmospheric pressure is relatively minor and can be compensated for by adjusting the pump's specifications.
