I'm not totally sure but I would think it would matter more if you are pumping it vertical vs horizontal. I can tell you that i tried pumping water from a small sump tank up to the main tank and it struggled. I ended up raising my sump tank about 3 inches and that made it work fine, it just couldn't fight the extra pressure of those few inches.

The chart in the description shows the Rio Plus 90 will have a flow of 85 GPH if the water is lifted 0 ft, 54 GPH if the water is lifted 1 ft, and max head of 2 ft, meaning the highest it can lift water is 2 ft. In the chart, the 2 ft height is blank. That means the chart says that it will not lift water more than 2 ft, and that at 2 ft, it will hardly be moving any water.For 5 ft, you'll need to look further down the chart at 1100 (max head 6 ft).[I have not purchased this product, but that is how you read the chart]

Hi, just measured it and its just under 6 1/4 inches. It's a great pump, too bad it's too big :( It's the 1/5 91025 pump. The base is round but there is a protrusion on the side where the hose connects that makes it too wide for a 6" pipe. Hope that helps!

Yes, a 3/4 pump has pressure settings, you can adjust your settings to where you need them on your pressure switch.

My guess is no. My pump is pulling out of a well about 13 ft deep and then up a 6% grade about 25 yards but I have a pressure tank with it..

I used 3/4" pvc pipe, very good, powerful pumping as long as installing according to instructions provided.no problem at all.

Not this pump. I think it is 1 1/4" discharge hose. I bought 25' of 1 1/4" from the same company, only around $13 for hose. I would not want the discharge hose to be that small.

It's a strong little pump as most bilge pumps are and will pump water several feet in what ever direction you run the hose but I wouldn't go much over 5 or 6 feet.

Hello- this pump should work fine as long as your pipe runs and elevation changes are minimal , please be sure it is completely submerged.

If you put 3/8 hose ahead of the 5/16 you should be fine for pressure but if the 5/16 is between the pump and the 3/8 you lose pressure.

I am not sure. But I believe it to be Yes. This pump is strong and I use it to pump water UP 4 feet from a barrel to a shower.

Good question. The pump was designed for the 1/4 in Try it and see, it will take you 15 minutes to find out, you will need to McGyver the fittings at the pressure tank and the faucet. Let me know. Mike

I would say, in my experience no problem. I am pumping up 15 ft before the pump and running with PVC and Garden hose at least 50ft after the pump with 3 Rain Bird sprinkler heads and it works great. As I said in my review, make sure you buy a foot valve and prime both the pipe and the pump to get it started. Also use PVC and not garden hose to pull the water up the vertical haul. I like the pump. It works great for me.

I used a 3/4 inch and I had trouble with it getting stopped up. I still have one using it but it is pumping clean water. The other pump is using one the same size as the discharge opening. 1 1/4 inch I think. Then I reduced it down to garden hose. This thing will move some water. I got this check valve on the same order as the pump. It has a flapper like a toilet uses. The 3/4 inch uses a very small opening. plugs easily.

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

I am using my existing 3/4 in pipe with a flange attached to it. Good luck.

That's a long haul... Hope the point is not too deep.... Anyway the pump inlet is 1 1/4 so you'll want to adapt down from 1.5 pipe to 1.25 right near the pump

I have my above ground pool lowered almost 2' down and it had no problem pumping out the water. I don't think that you will have any problem at 4'.
