omg.. that is semantics.... they do suck up water. the reason that they dont suck without the water into them because the impeller is not made to push air but rather water...
but you are correct on the not sucking and rather creating a vaccum. but guess what.. thats what a vaccum does!!! like the ones that clean the floors of your house.
the pumps are bad at sucking. but the pumps do suck up water well enough to feed themselves from a resivour and not get any cavitation. That is considering that your tubing is big enough to not restrict flow enough to starve the pump. IE using 3/8 inch tubing would cause horrible cavitation in a watercooilng loop.
