I'm currently using a small Jet pump/pressure tank combination to pump water from a nearby creek. The water is only used for washing cars, irrigation ect .. during non-freezing weather. I would like to move the pump to my well house which is about 220 feet away and 16 feet in elevation above the creek. I already have a 1-1/2 inch pvc pipe buried between the well house and creek and was wondering if running the jet pump in 'shallow well' mode would work considering the distance and elevation.
Here's a link to the pump/tank combo I currently have:

Here's a rough sketch of what I have in mind:
