This is directly from the amazon web site:

FLOW RATES: 120 Gallons Per Hour (GPH) @ 0' Lift; 95 GPH @ 1' Lift; 66 GPH @ 2' Lift; 20 GPH @ 3' Lift; Max Lift - 3' 3".

Notice that the max lift is 3 feet 3 Inches. Even if you got the height down to 3 feet, you would only get 20 gallons per hour of flow.

I would rethink this!
