if I had a 100 ft hose(level) would this be able to pump from that far ? Lake to pump for emergencies

More depends on the vertical distance than the horizontal distance. I doubt 100 ft would be a problem if the hose were full of water to begin with. There would be some interior friction, but negligible. Again, my assumption. These pumps do not pump out fire house streams or with great pressure. If you look at the gallons per minute, you'll have a fair idea.

I am not sure. But I believe it to be Yes. This pump is strong and I use it to pump water UP 4 feet from a barrel to a shower.

I live in Hawaii and my home is about 10 feet above sea level I could pull 28.0"- 28.5 +" hg. I ran the pump for one hour, 29.921" Hg is (absolute vacuum) so this pump is not that far off from absolute. Keep in mind atmospheric pressure and 'your' altitude affects vacuum pump performance

4 feet in the air is a long distance to pump for a 900. I had one but it didn't pump very well from my sump so I got an 1100. And I'm only pumping about 3 feet.

That's a complex question with no definitive answer or recommendation. The pump will move a lot of water over short distances but the back pressure from a fire hose, length of run from the water source and rise of the elevation all contribute obstacles. Your best course of action would be to get the pump specs and visit the nearest fire department or engineering offices and see if one of the veterans can calculate head pressure for you under your circumstances. You need to know what it will and won't do before you commit to a purchase. What you're establishing is essentially a "dry" hydrant where you throw the intake in the lake if cirumstances arise. I'd ask the question hypothetically and ask for a hypothetical answer as liability issues may scare off a definitive response.

Mine pumps over five feet without a problem. Those condensate pumps are intended to pump both height and distance. Hope that's helpful.

It will not fit a garden hose as is, you will have to rig up some type of adapter. As for pumping water 50 or 100 feet as long as you keep cranking the handle it will pump.

It will handle a longer than usual hose - I think it is at least 100' and I think the materials will neither leak nor rust.

I doubt it has the capacity of hold 100 ft. A 1/4" hose is measured on the inside diameter. Outside diameter is probably 1/2" or so. That's a lot for this cord reel.

Please note that the pump is really just to start the siphon. This will probably only work if it is downhill all the way to the sewer. We use it for a rain barrel so we never looked into longer hoses.

My hose is a 100 foot Goodyear brand and works flawlessly. I believe that you can go up to 300 feet with a high quality hose (such as Goodyear).

As long as the tubing coming out of the pump ends below the water level in the tank or not more than a few inches higher. It won't pump up hill very well because it's so small

I have it set up to pump about 5 feet to the sewage main but it is very powerful and I think it can definitely pump much higher than that...maybe 10.

I use 2 50' hoses (connected together) on mine and don't have any issues. Perhaps your 100' hose has/had a kink, causing low pressure/overheat?

This is a suction type pump all of the pump is in the part you see in the picture, This pump is made to pump out of shallow aquifers or out of a water storage system, that is under it. If your asking about horizontal, a pipe could most likely be 5 miles long horizontaly level, and if it was full of water NO AIR in it and the rise was not more than 20 feet it would probably pump out of it with out problems. to the pump for the most part all it is seeing is the height or the distance/depth to water, (a check valve/foot valve, should be used to keep the suction pipe full, The pump will only pump water out of the spout of the pump, as there is no seal or way of attaching a pipe to the pump to pump above the unit,

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.

Yes. Just make sure the suction lines have no air leaks. It will actually pull up hill about 20 feet if the suction line is sealed. You also need to put a foot valve on the suction line so that when it shuts off the suction line keeps water in it.

Based on my experience with 50 ft and 75 ft hoses, it should be able to handle 100 ft of 3/4 inch hose.
