[QUOTE="backhoeboogie, post: 674492, member: 3162"] I probably confused you with my wording and should not have used the term "lift". You can push water a thousand feet uphill if your pump and pipe can handle the pressure. 27.71 inches of water column (or about 2.3 feet) is 1 psi and it is a linear measurement equation so if you want to push water 100 feet up to a tank, your pump has to be capable of 43 psi or so (at sea level and 60 degree water with the stars and moon aligned... :D ) If your pump is 28 feet above the water and you are trying to suck it out, you're toast. It won't pump. You can use a jet or air with a water primed to make it work but you cannot simply suck it out with a pump. The poster said the top of the water was 30 feet down. [/QUOTE]
