The manufacture specs claim up to a 12 foot pull that reduces by 1 foot for every 1000 feet above sea level. As long as your bellow 4000 feet above sea level it should prime fine.
This pump will pump your 40 feet up and have about 20 psi left over but your choice of pipe will affect that some more. Bigger the pipe the more psi at the end. Smaller pipe will lower your psi and flow rate. Be careful if you go too big of pipe you'll start to get sediment in your pipe if your water isn't perfectly clean.

Question
For pop up camper use?
I want to use this product for my pop up camper sink.
Will it go on and off automatically when I turn the sink faucet on? Also will it run dry? I would like to use it pump water from my rain barrels to my garden? Will it get damaged if it continues to run after the barrel has emptied? Thanks.

This pump is an agricultural and industrial pump and is not recommended for use in an RV even though it would do what you wanted it to. This pump would make the water taste different. The pump that is recommended for this application is listed below. This pump would pump water from rain barrels to your garden however, the pump needs to be sheltered and protected and it is recommended to put it on a timer since it would eventually get damaged if you let it run dry.

It seems to me that this pump should work fine for a camper. When you turn on the faucet it will come on and when you turn off your faucet, the pump will stop running. I use mine on a rain barrel to water my garden. When I release the nozzle handle, the pump stops, when I pull the nozzle handle, it starts again. I don't know about damage from running dry--I water my garden by hand and monitor my water levels. Used in this way, the pump does a very good job. Hope this helps.

Question
what type of power supply can this be plugged up to?
The pump says that it needs 10 amps max. What if I want to plug this into a cigarrete lighter or add a power source such as a transformer so I can plug this up to a wall socket. Do the amps on the power supply have to be under 10 amps?

The amperage used for this pump will vary depending on the psi the unit is set at. At maximum psi (50), it will draw 10.6 Amps, 9.6 Amps at 40 psi, etc. If you want to convert to run on a cigarette lighter, make sure the battery attached has the minimum amperage required. If you would like to run on household current, there is a model available designed for 115 volt electricity. See link below.

No the pump will only draw the ten amps it needs, it is better to have more than the minimum.
I doubt that it will run on a lighter outlet, a better choice would be to hook it up to your trailer connection.

Question
will this pump hook up to a regular garden hose?

The SHURflo On-Demand Diaphragm Pump has 1/2" fittings, and would not be compatible with a standard garden hose(3/4") which would lower the flow rate. When the flow rate is low the pump may re-pressurize the outlet faster than the fluid is being released causing rapid cycling, where damage may occur.

answer 2
Actually, standard garden hose is only 5/8" inner diameter, not 3/4". The fittings are 3/4", but you can get 1/2" to 3/4" garden hose adapters at any of the big box stores or plumbing stores (I checked, Northern Tool doesn't have them). You can also purchase 1/2" garden hose, but you'll still need the adapters because the fittings are still 3/4". This is what I did with my pump.

Yes, this pump will self prime a height of up to 12 ft above liquid level and push water up to 120 ft above liquid level. Keep in mind that the farther above liquid level the fluid is pushed the lower the gpm output of the pump will be. When figuring the head on a pump only the rise is taken into consideration.

The pressure switch reacts to outlet pressure, and interrupts power at the preset shut-off pressure indicated on the pump label. When outlet pressure drops below a predetermined limit (typically 15-20 psi.[1-1.4 bar] less than the shut-off pressure), the switch will close and the pump wil operate until the shut-off (high) pressure is achieved. The shut-off pressure is set to factory calibrated standards.
