what kind pump i need to move water uphill from 25 or 30 feet

I use my pump to irrigate my lawn in Florida so there is not too much of a rise but I would imagine it would pump at least 30 feet uphill.

This pump move water from the lake uphill to my lawn in front of my home which is more than 25 higher than the lake.

I would say this pump should do it , I use it to pump 20 feet from under ground , so if the hill ain't straight up it should move some water

A regular electric pump will work but it will take a while. We used them on a popular river so a place that rents them out let us use his pump. It worked a lot faster.

I have a 2500 pump and my goes higher than that, it goes about 10-15 feet up and yes the valve should be shut for the waterfall action, less waterfall open valve as needed.

Shallow well pumps are limited to 33 ft or 1 atmosphere . This capacity depends on altitude higher altitude will reduce suction depth

According to specifications will pump up to 10 feet with little loss of flow (over 2000 gallons per hour). 15 feet up seems its limit with flow dropping to 1140 GPH. It won't make it to 20 feet, flow listed as "off."

Little Giant 554421 VCMA-20 is design to lift water up to 15'. If you lift water to 1' up only, water flow can be as big as 80GPH. For 9' lift up your flow will be 55GPH.I do not understand "55' down". If you want to move water from 55' BELOW pump, it will not work. If you need to move water to the distance of 55' long, you need to try bigger ID hose if you meet some limitation.

The Little Giant 554421 (model: VCMA-20UL) should have no problem with 8ft high, and a 55ft distance. Mine pumps water about 8ft high and a 30ft distance. It has been extremely reliable even though I don't clean it out as often as I probably should. I have had it for 8 or so years and it runs year-round (air-conditioner in the summer, humidifier in the winter). I did have to replace the check valve, but that was probably due to going too long without being cleaned.

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,

We have a 27'4' round above ground pool and this pump works just fine with it. Hope this helps.

I pushed it uphill about 150 feet with no issue. Please remember - this is a low pressure pump so if you are going to be just moving water, it is great. If you are looking for moving and pressure, you will not get.

The 30" is based off of the total distance over and under combined as far as i understand it. The pump will pump more then this in my experience. However it will impact the flow rate and will likely burn out faster.

1.25 sump pump hose will work. Just make sure to support it so it does not sag

I recommend the 2500 GPH pump and the salt water chlorinator.. You use very little, if any chemicals.

unfortunately I bought the wrong pump for the application. The water table is about 200' 1-1/4" pipe The pump sets at 285' what pump should I have bought.

I hope I understand your question correctly. At 5 feet above the water surface, these pumps experience a reduction in flow of about 50%. Example a pump rated at 700gph actually has a flow of 400gph at 5 feet above waterline. To visualize the flow, imagine your garden hose pointed upward with the valve about 1/3 open... at 400gph the stream of water would rise about 6 inches before topping out. If that is enough water then a 700gph pump is enough. If you buy a 950gph or 1200gph you can restrict the outflow with a plastic valve from your hardware store if it is too much. If you already have the fountain, try connecting your garden hose and adjust the tap to the ideal flow rate. Then disconnect the hose while leaving the water running and then let the water run into a pail for 1 minute. Then measure the water that has ran into the pail and multiply by 60 to get gph. Then take that total and multiply by 1.75 and also by 2. The two calculated numbers will give you an idea of the minimum sized pump and the maximum sized pump you will need.

There are some siphon type of pumps you can use. I would suggest getting water off if you get a big rain.

It will move the water, but the rate will probably drop off about 75-80% at the end of the 600' run. The problem is the diameter of the pipe rather than the power of the pump. You would get much better performance if you could run 1.5" PVC pipe for most of the distance.
