Can it pump 8 feet high?

Yes no problembut its dependent on the water pressure supply it's attached to

We have it 1-1/2 feet into the sump well and 8-1/2 feet to the drain pipe and it works very well.

Yes no problem but its dependent on the water pressure supply it's attached to

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.

My installation will draw water up about 8', depending on your city water pressure, I would think it will have no problem pumping up 8'

Our drain outlet is only about 4 ft higher than the pump. That worked pretty good when we ran initial tests with the handyman who fixed it. Not sure about 8 ft high.

About 8 foot or soI have a very tall tank and used 5and gallon buckets..had room to move to several buckets.I now use a different method. A 1200good gph pump with U shaped pvc, hang over the edge of tank with hose fitting on pvc. Pump continually for a few min. BTW i have a 220list gal.tank

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.

Yes about 2.5 inches high.I have not had much water in it.It does not hold a lot of water with the room that the washer takes up.Never would rely on the 8-10 gallon water answer.

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

I would think so but, have no proof of that. My pump has great pressure but, only pushes up 4 or five feet.

From what I can tell there is no pump, so the unit works with a valve/head pressure. So you may not get optimal results with the reservoir at the same height

I pump water up eight feet. They call that the lift height. I can empty a 650 gallon tank in about 20 min pumping it 8 feet straight up. I should also say I have been using it every day for about 7 months with no problem.

The VCMA-20 will accommodate an 8 ft rise easily as it designed to lift the fluid up to 20 feet in height. The distance that it must pump (i.e 55 feet) is almost irrelevant since the amount of resistance caused by the tubing is a minor consideration. If you should have any difficulty at all, you can use a larger diameter tubing to run the 55 feet and thereby effectively eliminate any resistance. In other words, if necessary, you use the specified tubing to lift the fluid to 8 feet and, at than point, connect the specified tubing to a larger diameter tubing to run the 55 feet. You will need an adapter to connect the two sizes of tubing. Hope this helps. The VCMA-20 will accommodate an 8 ft rise easily as it designed to lift the fluid up to 20 feet in height.

This may be a little far for this small pump to handle. It does well up to 100'.

I don't know for sure and have no way of testing it for you. It is a very powerful pump and I am guessing it could push air that far down.

I had this pump go from a five gallon bucket to 8 ft. above that, so 6 should be just fine.

No. It is exactly 24 feet. Not a lot of working room for you but it will fit even with the pump.

Depends on how much You fill it up with. Probably can be up to a foot . I would say 8 inches is what I keep it at .

It's not very high (about 3 inches), but if you're looking for something to last, this is not it. I purchased this and the pump stopped working within 8 days. I cleaned it 2x in the 8 days it worked, but it still failed.

Depends on how high you are lifting the water. The higher you lift the less distance you can pump.

I think it only had about 10' tubing total 1/2" size. Pump would be too weak to lift very high. Vinyl tubing is measured by inside diam. it is 1/2"
