I must assume you mean uniterrupted column of water!
The maximum suction lift of a column of water is the height of a column of water (inside a vertical pipe for instance) that can be supported by atmospheric pressure i.e. approx 14.69psi or 760mm Mercury.
You should be aware that suction does not cause water to lift. Suction produced by various kinds of pump merely removes air from above the column of water and this
allows atmospheric pressure to act upon the base of the water column. The water
column is therefore pushed upwards by atmospheric pressure from below rather than
pulled up by suction from above.
The density, vapour pressure and surface tension of water vary slightly with temperature and atmospheric pressure also varies slightly with weather conditions. Thus the measured height of the water column may vary slightly according to the conditions prevailing when making the measurement.
A good approximation at room temperature is 33 feet or 10 metres.

During which phase change requires water is the most energy released into the environment?
Going from gas phase directly to solid state will conserve maximum energy. Just the opposite of the statement above will be true for maximum energy release. Changing from solid to directly into gas is called sublimation.
What form is the water in when it is in the clouds liquid or solid?
When water is in clouds it's a solid
Why is water not considered a mineral?
Liquid water is not considered a mineral because it is not a solid. But solid water--ice, is considered a mineral because it is a solid with a crystal form.
A vertical section of the ocean is called?
It is the water column.
What are the similiarities between carbon dioxide and hydrogen?
Both are covalent compounds and in solid state they look like same solid water is wet ice and solid carbon dioxide is dry ice.
What is the maximum suction head for pumping water?
I think, that's refer from your system. If you manipulate the surface pressure of the water, you will get a big value of water suction head with higher surface pressure. CMIIW....
What do you mean by head of pump?
Total pump head is the sum of suction and discharge pressure in mtr. ie. 1 bar =10.33 metres of water column
Will faulty foot valve restrict supply of water?
faulty foot valve will lead to absence of water column in a line. this gives rise to cavitation in pumps. As a result, suction of pumps is affected.
What is the maximum horizontal distance allowed in suction line of a pump which is above the water level?
The maximum distance will be relative to the efficiency of the pump and the rated flow of the pump vs the size of the suction hose. The more efficient the pump, the more vacuum it can draw, and the larger the suction hose in relation to the flow rating of the pump the farther you can move the pump away from the water. The manufacturer of the pump will have charts that will help you properly size and set up your pump for optimum performance.
Speed of sound is maximum in which like in steel or solid and if anything else than please specify?
Speed of sound is maximum in STeel or solid.. if we compare the speed of sound in different mediums like vaccuum,water,solid..we will find it decreases with maximum in soild then liquid and then vaccuum
How much weight should a vacuum cleaner lift?
First answer: 5 pounds Second answer: The suction is the maximum pressure difference that the pump can create. For example, a typical domestic model has a suction of about negative 20 kPa. This means that it can lower the pressure inside the hose from normal atmospheric pressure (about 100 kPa) by 20 kPa. The higher the suction rating, the more powerful the cleaner. One inch of water is equivalent to about 249 Pa; hence, the typical suction is 80 inches (2,000 mm) of water. This translates to 2.89 psi.
Why do you have high and low sea water suction?
When the ship is at the port, the water is shallow therefore we use high seawater suction. If the low seawater suction was used instead, impurities such as sand would be sucked into the system..
How do you suction water out of a big tank?

What is the difference between suction lift and suction head?
Suction lift is only negative. Suction head is positive or negative.Suction head is the distance between the surface of the liquid being pumped and the centerline of the pump. It can be positive or negative, and it can be affected by pressure or vacuum on the surface of the fluid. A negative suction head is also called suction lift.Example 1: A D/A under 15 psig is set 20 feet above the feed pump the effective suction head is 54 feet. (15 psig is equivalent to 34 feet of water).Example 2: A Condenser hotwell under 28 inches of vacuum (Hg) is set 16 feet above the suction of a propeller pump. The effective suction head (lift) is -15 feet.* (28"Hg = - 31 feet of water)Example 3: A sump pump is set 4 feet below the surface of the well. The effective suction head is 4 feet.*Note: Suction lift is only effective to a maximum of 21 feet, and 15 feet for hot water depending on temperature and pump slip.
What does it mean when your suction head is too high and your pump is not pumping water?
suction head is calculated wiht the formula head = 2.31 x psi so if your suction is 30psi then your head is around 60ft. of head. If your suction head is to high then there is not enough water to pump the needed psi for the task
Where is your suction water line for your house?

How Do pipettes suck up water?
