Subject: Re: Maximum distance you can siphon water



Know anybody with a manure wagon with a vacuum to fill it. Might have to fabricate to get the 3" hose attached. I would have better luck taking a tank of water to the lower end and forcing water up to fill the pipe. Air bubbles are a killer.


A question--How far is the highest point of the dam/whatever from your water surface? How far over the other side before your hose will be below the surface level of the water? How far are you going to draw the water level down. I was thinking 29 something was maximum vacuum? Maybe thats column inches of water? Elavation probably enters into that figure someplace. Just curiosity questions. good luck. Kinda neat to watch this work without any energy once it gets going.

Ps; You've got to watch for whirlpooling over your intake. If that happens you can lose it before you want.
