Sump Depth and Suction Lift Feasibility Check
Self-priming trash pumps have a hard physical limit on how far they can lift water — atmospheric pressure physically caps theoretical lift at 33 ft, and practical systems reserve margin for friction, vapor pressure, and altitude. This tool tells you whether your sump depth is feasible with a surface-mounted T-series trash pump or whether you need a T-SUB submersible instead.
