I cannot, for the life of me, understand liquids. If something says 10m head lift, that means it can go up 10m, right? RIGHT? it doesn’t. It stalls on a 4m foundation. I’m so frustrated. I shove pumps everywhere and still nothing works. I even have 2 pipes next to each other but one works and the other doesn’t! ARRRGGHHHH
I’m JUUUUUUUUUST about to package everything and conveyor belt it.
When it comes to Head Lift, general wisdom is to just not try and be perfect about it, like, be more generous with your pumps than the math says you need. Head Lift is relative to the “center” of a pipe, so if you have a pipe coming horizontal out of an Extractor (which has 10m Head Lift) and then raise it to being horizontal exactly 10m above that, The Head Lift will only fill half the pipe. So, in practice, when a machine (or a pump placed horizontally) says it has X amount of Head Lift, you’re not REALLY getting that much Head Lift, you’re getting like 1m less.
