Hello I am going to setup a new tank roughly 135g and I don't want to carry buckets from the basement to where the tank is on the 1st floor. What can I do to get the rodi to push the water the 100 feet give or take maybe alot less im guessing that would be the max distance. I dont want to carry water that far and up stairs
 
Set up a container to collect your RODI water. Put a pump in that container. Add a switch to that pump and a hose to where you want the water to go. Turn it on when you want RODI in the other place. Look at the rating of the pump for 'lift height' or similar so it can handle the upward lift. Make sure you have a siphon break.

You could get fancy and have a cut off switch at the top so when that container gets full it shuts off the pump.

Just a top of the head idea.

A pump and a recieving container with float or just run your product line to the container you are wanting to use. You shouldnt have an issue with normal pressure above 50.
 
was hoping i can run a booster pump
Then you should collect your RODI into a large float controlled brute container and install another brute container with a float near where you want your water transfered. As mentioned above, find a suitable pump with enough head pressure and run 1/2" or similar size tubing between the two containers up through the floor or however you plan to run your tubing.

This should be no problem if your RODI system is plumbed into your municipal water supply. I have my RODI in the basement, and it easily pushes RO water up one floor to my kitchen for cooking and drinking water. To go horizontally shouldn't be any problem at all. The RODI system should be able to push water as high as any other faucet in your house, no pumps needed 🙂

I hope this helps!
