Have you ever had a day where you view everyone else as dogs and you are the fire hydrant?
Surge protectors help protect electrical equipment.
Head Loss (pressure loss due to elevation change) is going to be a bit of 6 psi. (0.433 psi per foot). That's a lot to expect to overcome. Unless you have a really fast moving river (you will be converting velocity pressure to overcome the head loss and the friction in the pipe, fittings, filter, etc.), this sounds like a no-go project. I could be wrong, it's just a gut feeling.
