my water level is 9 inches... would this work?

Providing your water level is 9 inches deep this protein skimmer should work.

It would probably just fit. The total height is 12 inches. A few of those inches would be for the collection cup. So 12 - [a few] = ~9. Math at it's best...

Theoretically it would work, however have you calculated the flow you're looking for? If this is your only drain, that's not going to be enough for 400 gallons.

Check the water level. It's very important that the level is at the top or it will do what your describing!

It will work but I usually associate 1HP with the 100 sq/ft filter. It sounds like you may have more pump than you need for 10,000 gallons.

It depends how your water level is. if you have a steady water level and enough water to make it fit then I wouldn't see why not. This skimmer does work but it is very sensitive to your water level and will not work if it's too low or high, in which case it will get very loud. Just do some measurements to make sure before purchasing it.

I don't see why it wouldn't work, make it half inch size so that you get the most water volume possible

It will work at a 5' depth. Intake screen at bottom of pump must remain fairly clean. If it gets clogged, no water flow.

It would work. But I think u should go to 500 gph or higher. These pumps were made to pump short distances

Maybe. My pool is 6ft at the deep end, inground. Pool length is 29ft. I think size, not depth, is a bigger factor.

I think it will, but the flow rate will not be full at that elevation. In all honesty I would go a little bigger.

If this is the same filter I purchased, I do not think it will work with only a few inches of water. The water has to be allmost level with the top of the filter assemply for water to be able to flow through the filter assemble from the bottom (Water intake) of the filter assembly. The filter assemble is all most 6" high so I would think the very minimum amout of water in the tank would be 6" for this filter to work.....

Yes, as long as you have the water running fast enough it will pull water from 5' feet below.

Probably be Ok. You can try then add the five or nine gallon tank in-line. Depends on your water used.

Yes, I think this would work for your application. This not a float activated pump and requires at least 1/2" water to run. It's best if you have a way to turn on and off as once plugged in it will check for high water level every few minutes, if water is high it pumps until lower than 1/2" at pump.

I doubt that it will remove much water at that depth. If you look closely at the pump it is sitting on perhaps 1/2 inch legs.

It should.I have a 9 by 18 and it seems to work well. Holds tight to the pipe, and pulls in a lot of junk. Might want to check on how much surface area it is supposed to cover. Other than that, it seems to be solid. Going to try skimmer socks with it next year.

It will work but you probably wanna go with bigger than 2 inches hose.itsucks plain water very slow so its not going to work very good with muddy water
