Question Sump pump for water changes?

I couldn’t find anything on the topic. I’m looking at some sump/utility pumps to feed my tank SW/FW from my basement (water changes, ATO refills). Has anyone used these for prolonged periods in SW? I have to think about 60ft horizontal and 16-17ft vertical.

There are some decent looking ones on amazon, or if anyone has other suggestions, please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
