I have a SR Smith Vortex slide that requires a max of 30GPM for the water supply. I currently have it plumbed via a 3 way valve from my 2 hp main pump which runs both the pool and spa. The issue is that I can't run the slide and heat the spa at the same time. My plan is to add a new 110v pump dedicated to just the slide. I will use the bottom drain to feed the pump. The drain is 10 feet below and 30 feet from the pump location. What pump would you choose?

The smallest pump possible should be enough. Even a cheapo Intex pump should be able to lift the water to the slide.
The slide has a 30 GPM maximum but what is the minimum?
