Default pond pumps

I had a aquamax 5500 and a biosys 10 filter with a bitron 25 uv stolen
from my pond last night. I don't want to just go out and replace it
as it will just get stolen again. My intention is to make a steel box
for the filter unit but the pump is proving difficult.
Any one know of a non-submerged pump of the same spec as the aquamax
5500? i could then put this in the same steel box.
If I was to pipe the suction of a aquamax up and have the pump out of
the pond and the end of the pipe init, will the pump pull the head
(1.5m)?
any tips ideas would be most appreciated

Do you have a neighbor that doesn't like the sound of the pump or flowing
water?
Just a thought.

Ouch, that would be terrible. We all put up with 'something' from a
neighbor, that's life. Geoff, can you claim this on your homeowner's
insurance? I don't know prices, but the sound of all that equipment sounds
expensive?
