Need to bring water up a 30 foot hill a total of 60 feet. Is there any pump that will syphin that far.?

I need to keep the pump on my property so I cant use a sump to push it --- any ideas, The water will be used to water lawn and plants. THe creek has a 5 inch deep pool with plenty of run as the source.

In a complete vacuum (which isn't possible) you can only draw water something like 25 feet vertical. You will need a submersible or jet pump system for your 30 foot rise.
Reply:It's astonshing that it was only ROCCO who applied science to the question.

You will have to fit a submersible type pump and PUSH the water from the source.
Reply:It would take quite a pump to do this chore. I used a "Milk house" pump for this, it's a "drill pump, slow speed but, had the Oomph! to do it. You can push water anywhere but, it's hard to pull.
Reply:The only type of pump that I am aware of that will give you enough volume to do lawn watering and plants etc is a positive displacement pump. It has to be fed directly from the source at not more than 3 feet above the surface of the water. You should also put a check valve in the line to prevent the water from forcing the pump backwards when it is turned off. A 5 inch deep pool will not be enough either. You will need at least a three foot deep cavity at least 2 feet in width to place the input side line and install it with protection from material that could clog the pump.



The very best suggestion I can make would be to contact an irrigation specialist and have them make a proper recommendation and give you an estimate
Reply:60 feet isn't that far. If you are going to lay pipe anyway - I don't understand why you can't have a small submersible pump at the end of the pipe, wired through the pipe. Just like you were sending it down a 60 foot well.
Reply:If the suction piping can be airtight, any positive displacement vane pump should do the job. The problem will be getting it primed every time it starts.
Reply:Do to physics, air pressure, etc, it is only possible to pull water about 30 feet vertically with a pump. That is why wells have submersible pumps. If you can get the pump in a position where it pulls the water for 15-20 feet and then pushes it the rest of the way it may work, but as far as a siphon pump going 60 feet, it is physically impossible.
Reply:Sounds fishy, sounds like you may not have rights to that water.
