will it suck the water from the basement into a sink one flight up

I have not tried such extreme scenario. It it works it may probably will with minimal suction as water is heavy, it may take longer and use a lot of water from your faucet. I have a sink in the basement less than 50 feet from my two aquariums. The Aqueon siphon has weak suction and cracked, having to replace it two times. My aquarium per store had the same issue cleaning a few dozen aquariums. They now use the Python syphone adapted to the Aqueon tubing and vacuum nozzle. They claim that the Python siphon is studier and generates more suction. I followed their advised and they were right! I can endorse their recommendation. Here is the Amazon link to the Python siphon. http://www.amazon.com/Python-13B-Aquarium-Replacement-Pump/dp/B000255NVE/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1417656862&sr=8-3&keywords=python+aquarium+cleaner You can also find the Python nut-luck for it that will help you reuse/adapt the rest of the Aqueon parts. I am sure the Python siphon will produce more suction but you may have to test it going up one flight of stairs. Good luck!

If you are talking about the drain in the bottom of the tub, then no it won't. This device has a large hole shown on the top side if you look at the photo of it in use. The device fits over the overflow on the side of the tub, so it effectively raises the level where the water would flow into the overflow drain. The hole at the top provides a safety drain so the water doesn't overflow the tub.

I would say it depends on the battery you buy for it (not included with the pump) and the height that it will pump the water up to to get it out of the basement. In my case I bought one of the Marine size 27 batteries and the pump has about 9ft to lift the water from the bottom of the sump up to where it exits the house. From my research back when I bought it I felt comfortable that this solution would keep the basement dry for at least two days while emptying the sump once a minute (extreme downpour). I can't quote anything more specific than that but I believe reading the other reviews helped... and Google.

Once you install this fan in the basement, unless you have a window open in the basement, it will draw air from upstairs, under the door. You will not believe how well it draws.

We bought this pump for our utility sink in the basement. It works well for us, pumping up the pipe 8' in height. You may want to check the manufacturer's specs if further information is needed. Sorry I could not provide further information.

It doesn't pump uphill more than a foot. As long as you are pumping straight across, it does fine. For moving water against gravity, you need a more powerful pump.

Yes it will just barely. you will need to hold it with a pair of needle nose pliers to get it air up the first time.

it will probably work for holding the water in the pond. I used it for my basement to keep the water out and it started to lift from the pressure.

It could if you get it in to the drain pipe below the pipes connecting into the main drain pipe.

Of course it will, if you get the pump within about 20 feet of the water level, and can have your discharge point no more than 50 feet higher than that.

Yes you can I use it for the basement shower and sink . Goes into a pit where it discharges 6 foot up to drain very fast . No problem

That is a good question. It doesn't appear to have high discharge pressure, so I don't think it would do too well. I have pumped from the ground level up higher with no real problem. Probably any sort of restriction would keep the flow way down. Keep in mind that the pump is driven by a battery.

I'm not a Plumber but I can't see why not, remember the value needs to open with the pressure from the pump, the water cannot be able to travel in another direction. Let's say it's the drain pipe from upstairs you are talking about and it also goes to the sewer outside the building. The water will take the path of least resistance. Valve works great, remember you need the pressure from the pump to open the valve. It is spring loaded. Good Luck

I've not been in that situation, but as long as you have water pressure, as I understand it, it should. However, your water bill will take a beating, but it's better than a flooded basement! My pump is strictly for backup in case my electric-powered sump dies or I lose power, so mine rarely comes on.

Yes it will. My layout is that I have 2 hot water heaters in my basement where this is attached. It circulates from the basement to the other floors with no problems. It's a very large house, so unless you live in a palace, you'll be in great shape! I had to replace this after about 6 years with a new one...

It will be able to pump most of the water out. It only needs to lie flat when it gets to the very bottom.

Probably yes, but this is a pump, why you would want to connect it to the sink.Just connect your water source directly to the feidge then
