The varous pumps are only improving the flow, what you need is higher
pressure.
You could try raising the pump so the flow from the pump isn't uphill.



Unless he raises the basin from which the pump gets its water, that will
achieve nothing - the pump still has to lift the water through the same
vertical distance.


If a pump is lifted above the water its pumping, it will airlock sooner
or later. Including whenever its switched off. Only self priming pumps
should be used this way.
