Mine says explicitly "will not suck water from a water butt". Now, if it means that it requires a positive head by this, ... I have however run it from ~50m of hosepipe, connected to a hot water tank maybe 1.5m above where I was working. It claims 360l/hour, which'd work out to 6l/min, or 100ml/s. On actually measuring the output into a bucket, I get more like 60% of this. |
