Would a 1 1/2 HP centrifugal pool pump work to pull water (aprox 3 - 4ft in

A above ground pool pump is below the surface level of the water
so that that type of pump need not be good at creating a vacuum
at the inlet.

I would think that that type of pump would have a difficult time self
priming at four feet. Try to locate the pump as close to the level of
the water as possible.
