I’m looking for a pump for a my mixing station in the garage. In addition to mixing, I’d like it to be able to pump water up through the attic, over, and down to the tank. Rise is probably 12-14 feet. Over is 20-30 feet.

Have my eye on a Sicce 10. Head max of 23ft. Would this work? Or am I going to have to go more heavy duty? Also would like the smallest diameter pipe running to the tank. Preferred 1/2 Mur Lok but realize that may be way to much pressure.

Thanks for the help!
 
When I was looking into big pumps for mixing stations it looked like the iwaki is a solid choice.
 
If your looking for an external pump. I would suggest something like the Iwaki MD-40RT. The pumps with the Japanese motors really last. The down sides to the pump is that is not controllable and not as quiet as a DC pump.
