keeping ATO in Garage

Defiant Arms · Jul 31, 2016

does anyone foresee a problem if i keep my ATO reservoir in the garage along with my Dosing reservoirs? if anything i guess it would help keep tank warm and reduce load on the heater? my stand doesn't have the room for the reservoirs and garage is directly behind where the tank will go.

How much does your ATO pump in at a time and to how large of a system?
If it makes the tank too warm, I would extend the length of you tubing and have it coiled behind the tank, maybe that will help it loose some of the heat on the way to the tank..

tank is a 80 gallon 32x24x24 i havent set it up yet. thinking about a 10 gallon reservoir in garage and if i have the room maybe put a 1 gallon or so in the cabinet to help temps.

As long as the pump is strong enough, I don't see how it would be a problem

I've kept my 23 gallon ATO storage in my garage for 9 years now. The Spectrapure UPLC-II with its built in 3 roller peristaltic pump pulls it from there, about 35 feet away, no problem.
