I guess you didnīt read the instructions?
Mine has been running "dead head" for 25+ years at the location i mentioned.

It's your pump not mine and I could care less. I assumed by the shape it was also a rotary vane type. You must not have read those instructions too closely because it clearly states it is a diaphragm style pump, not a rotary vane type ... so it can lift. If
you understood the instructions, you would recognize mounting as close to the bottom of the tank as possible is the preferred method as it places less strain on the diaphragm. Good on you that it's still working but it wasn't intended as a basement sump pump.
