I didn't think the friction loss on horizontal runs is all that much provided there aren't too many fittings? Just guessing tho, since I haven't run the numbers thru the head loss calculator.

My planned basement sump will be almost directly under the display so probably also around 11 to 12 feet of vertical head. I've purchased a nearly new Panworld NH-150PS & also a previously owned but new looking Poseidon PS4 to move the water. Panworld is a pressure biased pump & will be used in the warmer months while I'd like to use the Poseidon in the winter since I understand they add heat to the water. Although the Poseidon is flow biased rather than for high head pressure applications, I've seen a few threads with folks using them for basement sumps. The Panworld is comparable to Iwaki & Blueline. I think the Poseidon was also sold under the Velocity brand name. Poseidon PS3 is similar to PS4 but pressure biased. By the looks of the flow charts, the loss at the head pressure for both models is close to the same. Will be less than the Panworld, but still ok I think.
