Peristaltic pumps have the advantage you do not have to worry about backsiphons or flooding due to their design and do not require check valves or air gaps.
You kind of need a pump that will do say 12-15 feet of head, with a check valve when pumping up, and can be started and stopped remotely. Last year I bought an outlet strip for christmas lights with a remote control so I did'nt have to go outside and unplug things, maybe something like that to control the pump from upstairs with the water stored downstairs? Just throwing out ideas here.
I use an extension cord as long as my tubing and plug it in next to the tank so I can turn it on/off by plugging/unplugging it.
