Ok, fair enough. I'll get back to my physics classes.This is false, see below.

Well, it wouldn't be, right? The display is in the same location let's say 14 ft above on the second floor, so let's also say that the reservoir is 30" deep. If you place the pump at the bottom of that 30" vs the top of that 30" you've knocked off 2 feet or so of plumbing, which in my mind makes for less loss...Correct, if we are assuming that the length of the pipe is the same in each tank that's above the water
Normally you would be right, however in this case the head pressure doesn't begin until the water rises above the tank level it's sitting in.Well, it wouldn't be, right?

Thanks! this I did not knowhead pressure starts at water surface
Yes, water surface. Doesn't matter if the pump is in 1 for of water or 100 feet of water. What matters is above the surface, that is head pressure.head pressure starts at water surface
OK after revisiting this I stand corrected. @KStatefan and @Sean Clark are right, my apologies to you both. Flow volume will remain the same, velocity will be reduced.
