Locate my swimming pool filter 15 feet from pool

Can I locate my swimming pool filter 15 feet from pool? I would like to relocate my above ground D.E. filter and pump about 15 feet from my pool.

I would also be about 3 ft lower in elevation than if it was sitting next to the pool. Can I do this without losing any performance? I would run the pipes under ground.
