Calculate head and flow for your situation
Add the static height to the pressure loss in the pipe, then select a pump whose pump curve achieves this flow rate at that head.

What is a submersible pump with flat suction?
A flat suction pump draws water away through its base down to about 1 to 2 mm of residual water, whereas a standard submersible pump leaves centimetres behind. Popular models...

Simer 5 replaced by Simer 6: what's better?
The Pentair Simer 6 is the successor: more powerful (6,000 l/h), with a built-in non-return valve, and still pumps dry down to 2 mm.
