What does this term mean, tech question.

[vincent]

In regards to a water pump I am getting.


Maximum Inlet Vacuum, 3ft. of water., (2.6 in. Hg).


Anyone know?

Looks more like porty stats than anything. How much a waste tank can hold on one, and how much vacuum you get.

I don't think so Steve. It's a spec or description of a water pump I purchased. I thought it might be the pressure needed to the inlet from the water source.

I don't know, still looking.

thanks

It is the distance in feet that the pump will pull water up.
