Hi, I use a 3000gph bilge pump - works well on the recirc set-up and also highbanker... I like the quiet.
I've also got a 1.5 inch Thornado pump.
Not sure that what you've got will be enough but others can confirm.

I use a 3.0HP Chinese petrol powered water pump through a powered head for my 8" dream mat and have to run it flat out through a 38mm layflat hose on about a 2 meter head. Frankly I find it annoyingly noisy so a battery powered pump does sound inviting, however it would have its own set of problems. A decent size battery would be quite heavy and you would need a good charger if you intend to stay out for several days.

You wouldnt need a huge battery. Run solar. You dont need the battery at the sluice site. Run cable of a decent gauge.
Its not as unviable as some people think.
