Our takeStep up to this when the rise tops 10 ft or the run is long: a 20 ft shut-off on the 115V model, about 15 ft of planning lift. Same style of overflow switch.The pick if you want 115V or 230V in one tank pump. We've seen no owner reports on it, and its listed 3.3 ft cord needs an outlet close by.

Key spec20 ft shut-off (115V); 80 GPH per listing; overflow switch85 GPH, 20 ft lift, 115/230V (listing claims)
Watch out forThe 230V VCMA-20 gives up lift: 17 ft shut-off vs 20 ft.Treat the 20 ft as likely shut-off head, like Little Giant's 15, not working lift; no flow curve is published.
