how high up in to the air can it pump without stopping?

This doesn't pump into the air - you attach a hose to the elbow. I use a 75' hose so it pumps the water down my driveway instead of in the yard. It also stops when you turn it off - however, it will continue to remove water until it drains below the cone as it acts like a siphon when the power is turned off.

I have it set up to pump about 5 feet to the sewage main but it is very powerful and I think it can definitely pump much higher than that...maybe 10.

mine came with a small pump that works very well. there is a blue hose with a tip attachment that inserts into the center of the hard plastic platform on the underside. There is a yellow bellows type pump that you step on and off with your foot to inflate. It says not to inflate the dome more than 9-9-1/2 inches tall. I hope this answer helps you.

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.

No: The float will start when it is at the top of the pump. Probably about 6"

Not a foot pump, gotta use your hands...maybe 6 or min to get it pumped up.

That's what this unit does. Holds a mim. of 5 lbs and you can pump it up to max. which I forget on this unit. I run mind at 20 lbs when pulling my 34 ft. 5th wheel which makes the trk and 5th wheel run level. Air it down when not needed. You can't let out too much air cause it will automatically bring the pressure back up to 5 lbs.

I live at about 1800 ft above sea level, and every time I have used this pump, it has pulled 29 inches of vacuum without problem. It helps to ensure that you have high quality vacuum pump oil in the pump to the proper level BEFORE beginning your operations.

The pump is activated when the float rises due to water rising about 6-8 inches above the pump base

10-15 feet. Be sure to clean/flush pump out after every use with water/vinegar or it will very well stop working.

The instructions that come with the pump do not say (I just checked) but I would say an easy 10 or more feet, it is very powerful pump.

Simply making sure to keep the plunger straight on both up and down strokes, I have used this pump immersed in a kiddie pool to drench multiple screaming 6 - to - 10 year old brat nieces and nephews at distances of easily 12 or 15 feet. It can shoot water well up into the air, though I know this is not the intended purpose - it should illustrate the pumping power. I will say that a strong person must be mindful, this is not made to last forever. It would certainly bail out a flooded basement up a flight of stairs (provided you had another hose to hook up to the output hose)

i don't think so the pump can only push air at a certain rate. a 90 pound person would cause a push back onto the pump. hope that helps.

I suppose it depends on how long your air pump hose is. I'd say it sprays around 3 feet. It's not that much water, anyhow. -- Personally, I use a battery powered air pump, so you just click it on, and step away. 5 seconds of it pumping, psssht, off it goes. Fun toy. Mental note: Avoid trees. It will get caught and may never come down.

Technically, it is not lifting but pushing - there is a limit to what a vacuum pump can pull, so I think this type of pump can push more - of course this type of pump also has a limit. I use it to reach into my sailboat bilge located in its shoal draft keel, then up to the lower edge of the hatch opening & out. I need to extend my whole arm down there to touch bottom with my shoulder a few inches below the hatch opening, so I estimate the total vertical distance is about 3 feet 4 inches. This unit easily pumps water up that height, and still pumps it out at a healthy velocity. It's also the only pump I have found that can fit into that very small space.

It pumps as high as the hose reaches. I did not make it longer but did take the handle off to get the extra length I needed. I have pumped over 50 gal so far on the same set of batteries. It works good.

Yes, although it doesn't move a whole lot of air on the pumping, you could pump tires up with it. It just might take a while though but it's really compact. I recommend getting the CO2 cartridge kits. They're really compact and much faster.
