Does its job best on rough plumbing

I bought this to water and fill my lined pond. I have both an old artesian well and city water. City water is expensive so I was looking for a way to use my well which according to the old owners of the house had not been used for quite some time. I threw a line in to make sure there was water in there before ordering a pump. Upon delivery I immediately connected what was needed to attach a garden hose, connected it with heat shrink butt connectors, put heat shrink tubing over it and then applied waterproof tape, attached a 3/8 inch rope to it. pump and stop. I left it there while I ran another 350 feet of tubing. I have about 450 feet of garden hose connected to my 16 x 21 x 3 foot pond. My head height is about 110 feet. I don't know what volume or pressure this thing will create, I put a rock on the hose, went back, pocketed it and went out to see what came out. gulp) and decided to go ahead and fill the pond before evaporation. I get 4 gpm from this pump. Not exactly what I expected but he went out of his way to provide me with FREE water sourced from the earth which is full of minerals. I must say that the hyacinths in the pond were very happy as they all bloomed in a week. Even the fish in the pan seems happier. The pump stays in the well, hanging in the water column, ready to go when I need it. In total I spent about 170.00 to set up this pump as I already had the wire and 3 sections of tubing that I am using. Photos and videos ahead.
