I need to know how high will the 1250gph pump. The bilge hose goes back and up about 2-3 ft. Will it pump to 2-3 ft high to the stern? Reason I'm asking is that the pump (1000gph) will pump the bilge only on occasion. It will run but not push the water up to the stern on occasion. It worked awhile back but now just runs with no water coming out. I changed the hose
all the way back to the scupper and even put in a new check valve but still nothing. I feel the 1 1/8 hose is too large and might even go down to a 3/4 hose. I can't find anywhere the specs on how high will it pump. That is why I'm asking you guys. Nowhere else to go. I noticed after I bought the 25 that the bilge pump said 1250 gph but the cartridge was a 750 gph with 1 1/8 hose but it worked for awhile.

Hi Jim,

Shoot me an email so we can discuss the installation of the check valve. If the valve is installed close to the pump, there should be minimal water going back into the bilge. My email is marcoarias@rangertugs.com.

Thanks!
