Good evening everyone, I need some assistance or guidance shall I say. My water station is in my garage which is about 50 feet away from my actual tank. I already planned to use a dos to do a remote awc, but I am also thinking about plumbing my atk straight into my storage tank. The pump would have to pump about 4 feet vertical, then down and across the crawl space about 30 feet, and then up about 3 feet to the sump. Do you guys think this set up would work? Thanks

I don't think the ATK has enough oomph to pump that far with that much head pressure. You might check the specs and see, but my gut says no.

I guess I was hoping for too much, it would have just made my life a bit easier!!! It said it can push 14' vertical. Thanks for the feedback though.
