Water pumps are rated in how much water (gallons per hour) can be pumped, and how high (max head) that water can be pumped to. Here is an article that details how to figure what size of pump you need. https://www.pondmarket.com/pondinfo/how-to-choose-pond-pumpswaterfall-pumps-and-pond-filter-pumps/
