Grainfather pump - enough power to push into the bottom of the fermentor ?

Hi
I always transfert the hot wort through the chiller on then into the fermentor by the top of it.
I was thinking about transfering the wort by the ball valve at the bottom of my fermentor.
However, I have no idea if the pump has enough power to push against 20L of wort ?
Is anybody already tested it ?
Thanks

I haven't tried it and I have a robobrew which functions basically the same. but I would assume it would work.
 
It takes a negligible amount of pressure from the pump to fill 20l.  I do it all the time from a vessel lower than my kettle.
