March Pump has some of the highest head ratings that I have seen in 12V and 24V powered pumps. I believe the 809-HS model has the most appropriate capabilities.
It is probably true the most important thing can do is to decrease the height that fluid has travel vertically.
With 8' of head at 5gpm, you can run an 115V circulator at about 80 watts max. (Less if you use a variable speed controller.) Something like the grundfos up15-58fc.0 -
ECM circs
are another option if you have 120V. Maybe pump that system with17W on the Alpha.
On dual pump, high lift head, drain back I have paired and Alpha with a 15-58. Start the siphon with both running and drop back to the Alpha at speed 1 or 2.Bob "hot rod" Rohr
