Does this pump pump right off the floor? How much water does it need to pump?

The Intake ring is about a 8th if an inch from the bottom of the pump, so it would work in about a half inch of standing water.

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

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.

You don`t really need a pump, it is not too big. We just simply blew it, did not take long at all.

The height doesn't matter. The pump is basically a valve that is turned on and off.

The center of the float that activates the on switch sits 5" above a dry floor. The center of the float reaches 8" at the point where it activates the on switch. So a 3" +/- rise in water will turn the pump on.

ABOUT 12 INCHES, I would not suggest ordering it, I had level patio and water dripped unevenly splashing, pump died after a few days. I reordered pump but never got it to sit level. Spend more money and get a better deal

We use it to drain our pool - it will stop pumping water when the pool has about two inches of water left in the bottom. Hope this helps

I used it on the floor and the size is about 9"x 9"The first one I had lasted 6 months of use and the pump died. The second one I had the heater to make the water mist lasted 8 months. I would look into a different model or make. Good luck !!

No, the pump gets just very loud, because it pumps mostly air. The thing is OK but nothing to write home about. If your floor is not 100% plane, the bowl runs over and everything gets wet.

Tim, I could not find that info anywhere on my pump, but I will say that I used it in my basement to pump out flood water.basement floor was 10 feet below ground and it delivered about 1400 gph at that height pumping up out of my basement

No, just low enough to attach the pump so that water doesn't run all over the place. Maybe 3 or 4 gallons, to be safe.

Also wanted to mention this unit works well in a pit as the legs keep it too far from the ground to use to get water off say the basement floor. I have a portable unit that attached right to a garden hose out of the box plus it sits pretty flush to any surface you put it on thus getting the water off the floor as much as possible. My portable unit kicks on when it senses water and shuts itself off when there's no more water to suck up.

I havent figured out how to adjust it but it should work on the floor, should start pumping at about 2" deep

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!

I have never run it down to empty. I have run it down to about 1 inch, and no the pump does not shut off.
