ok to elevate RODI waste line?

[mpjmeyer]

Is it ok to elevate the waste line of an RODI system about 3ft? I'd like to run it across the ceiling and down into the sump pump for my house...or into a utility sink that sits right next to it. Is the pressure in the RODI system enough to push the water up a tad?

Yes, that should NOT be an issue, what's your incoming PSI at?

No idea. It's not all hooked up yet. Going to be running the water supply line within a week and mounting the RODI system

Waste line PSI will be at or near mains pressure I believe. You just need to make sure you have an airgap where it enters the drain so it does not back siphon.

You should be fine.

Yes I will zip tie the waste line so it only goes down about 6" into the sump leaving plenty of room between the water level and waste line.

If your really worried about syphoning, say in the case your sump pump goes out, add a check valve. Cheap assurance.

My house sump tank is actually pretty deep. The end of the hose shouldn't get remotely close to the water level
