Can I get a few opinions on what pump to use for this application.
I am going to have 2 Food grade horizontal water contains sitting on a 2 x 4 rack.
Each will have heating and a stir power head that can be turned on separately. The rectangular containers will sit stacked one at 6" above a typical fish bucket.. the other will be approx 30" above the lower one.
The bottom will be Salt mix and the top just R/O.

Here is the million dollars question..I wanted to avoid carrying mixed salt water...in a 5 gallon bucket to the tank.
So I want to drop in a temp power head/pump..that will take the lower water 40' from the lower stacked container to the tank which the top rim will be appox at 5' (60"). The water will travel from ground 0 to 60" thru a 40' vinyl 1/2" hose.
So what power head/pump could I use...it must be submersible ?
Looking forward to your thoughts..
 
I plug my pump into an extension cord , then run the cord out to the tank and plug it into a power strip that is beside me when filling or draining. The power strip is easy to turn off and on. I use this type of valve on my hose to stop flow when needed.
