planning to run a simple 1/4" line from basement....need...

to fill topoff reservoir upstairs for a . I'd say the distance from a 5 gallon bucket on the basement floor to an identical target bucket upstairs is about 10-13 vertical feet. Seeking a small reliable pump that can push the water up there.

Recommendations?

Any good dosing pump should handle it, but will be very slow. If you want something faster just find a pump where the flow is about what you want at your head height. Look at the flow charts. A pump 50 GPH flow at your 13 feet of head should fill the bucket in a little over 3 min.
