Pump for Water Feature

[rbwallis]

Hello everyone, this is my first post. I am working on a water feature for my backyard. The reservoir is a 48" tall pot, which will be partially buried (about a foot) in the ground. the top inside diameter is 41", the bottom is 21".

Basically, I'm looking for a pump that can move the water from the bottom of this pot up to 6-8 inches above the surface, over rocks, etc. Any recommendations?

Also, I'm calculating the volume at 153 gallons (inside height = 44"). Does this sound right?

Any help appreciated!

Welcome!

Do a search for waterfall pumps on line there are a lot of choices. You would not need a real strong one.
