Hi,

I have been using a Tunze 3155 for the past 7 years out of a bucket beneath my tank. I'd like to start pulling RO water out of a Brute in my basement that is about 20 feet horizontally and 9 feet vertically away. Sorry for the basic questions but there is very little info on Spectrapure's website.

I saw some reference that I should be able to wire the Litermeter pump directly to the tunze 3155 brain, is that true? Then I understand the Litermeter G7 should be able to be in my cabinet and suck out of a ro line that far? It's appealing to just run tubing and not have to run wiring to a pump in the basement that far. If I'm doing that option should I just buy the cheapest pump for $249.99?


Or for an extra $50 I can buy their basic ATO for $299.99, would that be worth it and just sell the Tunze?

At $439.99 the Ultra Precise is a little out of my price range but I could be convinced if it's more reliable/worth it.

Thanks,

Travis

Have you check into new Tunze Turbelle high jet pump? state it can pump 20.3 feet
Thanks, I was not aware they released a new pump. I couldn't confirm that it could to that much suction like the lifemeter, but for that cost savings I could run some wire to the basement.

I did the exact same thing with the Tunze high jet and a roll of cased speaker wire from Monoprice it works wonderfully.

Standard 1/4 RO tubing fits (tightly) into the pump which is extra nice.

I have 5 oldliter meter pumps. They are awesome. I use for Kalk reactors and ato pumps. Rey reliable and will pump huge vertically or horizontally. I also use masterflex pumps. Even better but more spendy
