I was interested in getting this for my top off water. I am unsure of how much distance this can pump.
This is how I would be using it:
I will have my resevoir in a closet on the other side of the wall of the room my tank is in. I made a small hole at the bottom of the wall and will feed the tubing through it. The water will have to be pumped up the container and then the water line will have to go back down the outside of the container, through the wall (as it is near the baseboard molding) and along the ground until it reaches the tank stand. So this means that it will have to go up the container, down the container, then 9 feet horizontal, and then up 4.5 feet to the top of the tank (I was advised that the water needs to go into the tank and not the sump). Can this pump do this? I'm not sure how head pressure effects the water going up and down, and then up and down again.
Thanks,
Ken
