Ibc tank and pump sizing?

I've got my self and ibc tank and it's at the back of my shed it's about 15 metres away from the still and level ground. I was looking at the 350w ozito dirty water pump that most people are using. Is this pump going to cut it.
If I only half submerge the pump by hanging it with rope it only has to pump up half meter to get out the tank and down along the ground 15 metres to the still and up the height of the still and back to the tank.
Also what size tubing to use.

I use the same in my pool , it pumps up about 4 feet then about 15m to my still and back.
The still height is 1900 to the water inlet.
Been using this same pump for around 7 years
