AutoAqua Smart AWC - max pumping distance

[Willbiker]

Hi All

The drain I would like the AutoAqua SMART AWC system to pump water out to is about 6 meters away from my tank with about 1 meter head height. Do you think the DC pumps which come with the kit will be suitable for moving water this far with just an extension to the hose which is supplied?

Thanks

Will

AutoAqua states that the included pumps have a max head height of 6.5”’. General rule is that every 3’ of horizontal run equals ~1’ vertically.

Thanks tvanB1, Yeah I saw that but what about distance ?

I can only say mine pumps about 3 feet vertical then 12 feet horizontal and still comes out strong, no issues at all.

These little pumps are shockingly strong (in terms of head height, at least). I don't think you should have any problem with that distance.

Excellent thanks for the feedback
