    that 13 ft pipe connected to the top of the tank, where does it go and what is the angle with the ground?

    A vacuum pump ideally can lift water to a total height of 33 feet. So it can completely fill the 10 ft high water tank, IF the pump is located at the top of the tank. If it is located 13 ft higher at the end of that mystery pipe, the pump still has to lift the water by 10 ft which it should be able to do.

    But "kept at 10 feet height" means the tank is 10 ft high, distance top to bottom? I'm assuming that.

    Yes,  A complete vacuum will lift water 32 Ft. 10 ft should be no problem if the pipes and tank are rigid enough so they don't collapse.

  • NOT WORKING, BECAUSE THE TANK IS NOT 100% SEALED,ENDS UP SUCKING AIR MORE THAN WATER.
