I'm sick of hauling a 5 gallon bucket up the stairs every week, and with a bigger tank and MH lighting on the way, it's only going to get worse. A side benifit will be the lack of an unsightly 5 g bucket next to my nice new tank setup.
The RO unit is located in the basement. Will the RO system have enough pressure to run a fresh water line up one floor to the tank? It's probably less than 5' vertical, I'd guess around 20-25' total.
If not, what kind of small pump should I use?
(I'm also doing a water change line (2x1" PVC) in and out of the new sump, so I can simply turn a ball valve and drain water from my sump down the drain, and then flick on a switch and have a pump bring the mixed water back in. As you might can tell, I'm tired of hauling water up and down, etc...)
