Does it have enough power to push water elevation to 8' thru remote filter approx 30' hose 1.5" dia

I, honestly, can't say. I didn't have to move the water that high or that far.

I can't give an honest answer, never had to pump water up that much elevation

It should. We have two of these pumps, one running about eight feet with an immediate rise about four feet. The second pump is pushing water though a 1.5" hose going 30-40ft with a 6 ft rise and their is no lose of power -- seems to operate with the same pressure as the shorter run -- based on our experience, I think you should be fine.

No, its got a pretty powerful stream but not that strong. You would be looking for something more along the lines of a power washer.

no for the most part, for two reasons. 1 it doesn't have a built in check valve so you would need one. when the pump shuts off the water left in the hose will flow back down again.2 it has little to no pressure behind it so it cant lift water up more then 24" high before it stops pumping water. if you can set it up to work within those parameters I mentioned and supply 12 volts DC to power it, then yes it would work but it isn't a very big pump so you should look at something in the 2000-3500 gph range.

Yes it does - but give some thought as to how you are getting water to it. You will need either additional PVC or a dedicated hose to reach it.

I'm not sure but they do advertise that you can expand the system. This is kind of a starter kit so I would think maybe try 100' and see how powerful it is at the end of the line. Of course it will depend upon your water pressure also

I don't think it's that powerful....not enough to reach high places if you're spraying siding on your house, etc. We used it to spray deck cleaner on our deck and porch railings...worked great for that. You would most likely need a pressure washer to reach 25 ft...just a guess. Hope this helps!

Yes it has plenty of power. It depends on how many feet below your tank the pump is located. For example if the plumbing is down in the basement of your house then this pump would not be suitable but, mine was pumping against 10 feet total and had plenty of power. There is an online calculator which can estimate the flow of your pump depending on the head pressure it has to pump against which you can search for. Hope this helps your decision.

Assuming the water pressure system in your house is adequate to support the basepump (there is a section on their website to help you figure that out) then yes it should pump out water from a pit up a length of PVC at least 8ft. We have roughly that height in our set-up.

I believe you will not be satisfied with this pump in that application. It move a fairly high volume of water a low pressure on an almost level plane, such as from the bilge of a small boat. Pumping 7 feet elevation will really tax its capacity.

I did the test to see if it will weight itself down, the answer is yes it does. But you may need to attach to something so that it will stay upright. Back to the short wires, it is 12" long. I really don't know how you can connect to the power source unless your water is only 8" deep.

It seems to pump fine, for the length of hose that comes on it. You would not be able to be much higher than the supply tank. But there's only enough hose to reach about 2 ft. I set it on the deck of my mower and it just reaches the tank and fills fine. My batteries go dead between uses if I leave them in it for even a week. I assume there's a resistor across the switch to keep it from arching when turning on or off.

According to the specs from http://www.riopump.net/products_pumps/Rioplus_desc.html it should be able to lift water to a max of 2'.

No. It doesn't restrict water flow when connected to a 5/8 garden hose, works great and I would recommend this product to anyone.

No. However, the hose length tends to be short resulting in the possibility.

Upward power is great....I use mine as a basement sump pump. Mine discharges up a pipe give feet then goes 90 degrees sideways to the outside.

I don't think so. My unit is over 6 feet above the floor. It has plenty of power. The water pressure is key. I have 59 lbs

It does have a connector for a garden hose. Not exactly sure how far your trying to pump it. This pump Can't be totally submersed under water, just in case you are talking about putting it at the bottom of a barrel. It will only lift water about 4 ft above it, so take that into consideration. Might be ok for a small garden or light watering, since it's run off of batteries. Feel free to ask me again, if you still need assistance. Thank you very much, Jt's Online Deals!
