If I have to travel to an upstairs faucet hook-up for draining and vacuuming is the python suction strong enough to pull the water up a flight? i can use an outside hose for the draining part if I have to but I am curious. Obviously the filling is no sweat if its all down hill. Can you turn this off and run back to the faucet or do you have to be fleet of foot? :D I see it has a flow switch of some kind.

Thanks in advance
 
mine wasn't strong enough to bring the debris.

That wouldnt work too well ... If you have to hook via a sink upstairs, try hooking a sumbmersible pump to the suction end of the python instead of water pressure.
 
The python is limited to your existing water pressure. I had a similar instance, but the python didn't work. What I did was hook the pump from my sump up to the python hose and had it pump the water up the stairs.


LOL...Wes and I were thinking the same thing at the same time...:)
 
wouldnt work python needs to be at least gravity neutral to work well.Running the hose out my door works better than using the pump in the sink
