On an aquaponics course and someone says to use an 'air lift pump' to pump water from a fish tank on the ground floor to the vegetables green house on the 5th floor.

Why would you use an 'air lift pump'?

Do they use them in Thailand?

Cornishcarlos,

Sorry you miss my point.

Many posts on this forum talk about getting water from the ground floor of a shophouse etc to the 3rd or 4th floors, but no one has suggested using an air lift pump.

As I said, Google will tell you all you need to know. Much quicker than waiting for answers on here.

However, as Arjen has alreadyeady stated the static height obtainable with an airlift pump is very limited. To pump 3 or 4 stories high, you would need a bore hole at least 4 stories deep, as it's the water pressure which forces the air/water mix upwards.
