Hope you understand I am just throwing out possible options. I always look to find a permanent fix for things. Here is another option for you....run an electric wire thru the existing airline pipe to the top of the bank and put the pump there. You have a 1 inch pipe already which is plenty big enough. You would need a way to house the pump but that is cheap. Run a little bit bigger wire and you now have an outlet for electric at the pond should you ever want one. That is what I did at my place.
