Turtle needs help PLEASE? 8

[Damien.d]

Good day to All

*****Urgent assistance would be much appreciated.***** Pump dynamics is not my forte but I need help pump seawater up from the shoreline to replenish water in a turtle holding tank at an NGO. This was an injured and sick turtle that was rescued last week but the people working there have limited resources. From the shoreline to the tank is 150m and there is a 15m altitude difference. They have a 25mm HDPE pipe with a one-direction stop valve at the bottom but their pump is too weak to suck it up all the way from the shoreline. Any recommendations on a simple setup that would provide much relief to the chaps carrying buckets of water up every day for a water change. What size and type of pump? any additional valves etc that would ease the priming? The pipe would have to be rolled up after every use to prevent it from growing legs and walking away at night.
We would be so grateful to Anyone who would be so kind to help with the info and a simple drawing.
Warm Tropical Regards
Damien

Foot valves can be a real PIA.

Just confirms the adage, check, check and check again.

I hope this link works!
This one taken at vets during rays. Obstruction found in her gut. On meds to help pass. Let's hold thumbs. Will send another of her in the tank tomorrow! Take care
