The next thing is depth to water level. A pitcher pump is a suction

Theoretical maximum for a suction pump is actually 10.34 meters or 33.9 feet.

It's time to throw all their damned tea in the harbor again.


Correct but that is the theoretical. The practical due to pipe
friction, seal loss, etc. is about 26' at sea level.
