Default dart pump question

ok so I'm looking at the reeflo dart for a return pump. Thing is I'll have at least 6ft of pipe from pump to the sea swirl I'd like to attach it to, also there will be at least 8 elbows involved with this (2 sea swirls). If each elbow equals 1ft of head that makes 14 feet of head. The pump shuts off at 12'. So this won't work will it?

Another thought, if I use that flex hose there won't be any elbows, will that work better?
