max hight for osmolator pump

[ruiny]

I need to pump top off water from the basement up 8 feet to the tank
will the pump that comes with the osmolator kit do this. And if not what pump should I use?
Thanks

The max is 2.2 meters.
Just about 7 feet.

It may work but barely at 8ft. I think the pump's absolute limit where you get zero flow is 9ft.

I use the switched socket adapter to let me use whatever pump I'd like. Works great and gives you many more options.

I've used all manner of peristaltics and powerheads, they all work great (but can pump a significantly greater volume of water, so watch out!). I've even hooked it up to a RO booster pump.. I'm sure I could have pumped 30' or 40' easy with that little brute.

What is the "switched socket adapter"?

Part 3150.11 It uses the 9V to switch a relay and turn on a pump using up to 900W.

that switch sounds like the fix to my problem
thanks for all the quick replies
