Sump cleaner suction lift relates to the CECOR Sump Shark pumping depth and ability to pump higher viscosity fluids. The suction lift is also the power the sump cleaner has for gulping up solids and pulling into the filter basket without clogging.
From the chart below you will notice that the power source of the CECOR Sump Shark® sump cleaner is the best indicator of the suction lift. Fluid never goes through a Sump Shark pump because our pumps create a negative pressure in our sump cleaner to produce the sump cleaners suction lift and forces the fluid & sludge into our filter system. The suction lift is measured in inches of mercury. 1″ of mercury is equivalent to moving roughly 13.5″ inches of water through a column at 0 °C. The table below shows our suction lift and pump out capabilities by power source:

Unit of measurement for pressure
The pressure exerted by a column of mercury 1 inch (25.4 mm) in height at the standard acceleration of gravity.
- Hg measures the number of inches of Mercury
- wc measures the number of inches of Water
