Yes, it's on the same level. It basically just had to pull from the 75 gallon tank then down the wall into the crawl space then horizontal about 30 feet then just up a couple feet into the sump. I actually e mailed spectrapure today and they responded very quickly. I was just wondering if anyone had used them because they are a bit pricier then the others, but would be worth it if it can meet my needs. That would mean no ato container in the house!happy wife happy life!!!
