Product Review: Read this if you need to pump uphill
You need this information BEFORE you buy the pump. It is in fact on page 6 of the instructions for use manual you get with the pump.
The formula required is, the approximate Horizontal Distance = (maximum total head - measured working head height) x 10.
In my case I was using the pump to transfer water from a butt at the bottom to a butt at the top of my garden, a height of 4.5M.
The maximum total head height of the pump was 12M (as advertised). Therefore, 10(12M - 4.5M) = 75M maximum pumping distance.
As it is only 25M to the top of my garden, there was more that enough pressure to do the job easily.
( I think it takes approximately 15mins to transfer 200 litres.)
