What is the height of the pump itself? I want it to be well submersed in my bird bath,whose basin is only 5" high.

from the feet to the top of the head it's approx 4 inches, it would be a call fit, but it works well....

It's about 3 inches high to the top of the housing. To the top of the screwed in outlet, it is between 4 and 4.5 inches.

Susan, from reading the specs on the pump, the 2.5" opening won't accommodate the size of the pump.

Sorry for my delayed response... I already installed the pump and it's at one of my rentals... the only helpful info I think that I can give you is the manufacturers box that the pump came in dimensions....The box is 7.5" wide x 10.25" long x 10.25" tall(outside measurement). The footprint of the pump is smaller than this so it sounds like it should work. The float goes straight up and down so it needs no more room than that. Hope that helps you! It appears to be a very solid built pump!

You would need a larger pump based on the height. There is an equation to figure out what power you would need. This is just a small fountain; maybe 6 inch rise. I would still recommend the brand; they do carry larger pumps. Good luck :) L

I would love to be able to give you the exact dimensions, but right now, it is under a foot of water. As I recall, it was of a very similar size to the the one I was replacing. Sorry I am not more help.

You may need a different kind of pump. This is an submersible pump...you stick it in the water. I wish it did work connected to the bib. Second, I have not tried to pump that high. I'd have to test it. I've done a 4-5 foot rise successfully. But nothing close to 8 feet. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has be able to get it to pump up to 8 feet.

Hi Jeff. I think it would be kind of small for that. I just have it in a bird bath. Good luck!

My pump runs about the same winter and summer and has a lift of 10 1/2 feet. It drains the sump well of approx. 8 to 10 gals. in seconds. MY SUMP WELL IS SLIGHTLY OVER 2 FEET DEEP AND THE RAFTERS ARE 8 FEET ABOVE THAT, PLUS ANOTHER 6 INCHES UP INTO THE RAFTERS. ALSO A RUN OF APPROX. 40 HORIZONTAL FEET TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE. Pump has worked well for almost one year.

We want to put a solar pump in the move the water around. How deep is the bowl?

this is approx 1-2 inches deep. There's not a lot of bathing going on BUT, I have seen birds bathe in it. Mostly, they use it to drink all winter. I love this item. It really looks great and the birds use it a lot.J. De Kovessey

Hi Jason! Pretty darn low actually. I would say about 1/4" of an inch. I normally fill my Raindrop fountain all the way to the rim and my kitties enjoy the water for days and my wife and I enjoy a very quiet unit. The key to keeping the unit quiet is assembly. The pump suction cups to the bottom of the bowl and it's output spout is what positions the top stainless cover. Position the pump right and the top cover will not touch the bottom stainless bowl in such a way that it vibrates too much. I love this bowl and I've had many different ones!

If you can find a ring-type stand to allow for the cord that comes from the middle of the bottom, you'll be all right. Our stand is only about 5 inches high but has little feet. The bird bath is a delight to watch!

Superior sump pump manual says "Sump basin. Min. 14" diameter." Mine was a little smaller, so I just slid the line to the float a little to shorten it up.

You need 7 inches to fit. It is a squeeze at 6 inches. Btw, go on Amazon or local Hdepot and purchase the smallest fountian pump. It will improve performance 100%.

This fountain is 7 inches tall. Our 7 lb chihuahua has no problem reaching it. I swear that I just measured it twice and it is exactly 7 inches tall.

You would have to support the pump so it was only under 1-2" of water. That said,it depends on how much of an effect you are after - in my birdbath one of thefountain heads actually sprays out of the birdbath. I believe the most coverageyou could get even with the fountain head that sprays the farthest would beabout an 8-10" diameter total. Meaning from the center of the barrel it wouldspray out 4-5". If you are looking for a major splashing fountain for your barrelyou may need to go with a larger pump. But I am also assuming it would costmuch more than the price of this unit.

Yes, I just went outside, took mine out and measured it. The pump and filter are 9 1/2" long, and mine is 16" high. The height is adjustable. I've had mine set up for over a year in a plastic planter that is similar to a whiskey barrel, and still have the original 3 goldfish in it, and they are doing fine. The circumference of mine is 75" and it is 16 inches tall. The only thing to be careful of is that the water pumped from the fountain remains in the barrel. When I first set it up, the fountain got bumped by my dog, and almost drained out the whole pond. Luckily I noticed and the fish were fine. But it only happened one time, and has been an easy care pond this whole time. I've only cleaned the actual pond once in a year, besides cleaning the filter. It's a wonderful way for anyone to enjoy a small pond.
