But, if you want a big pump, I know someone who has an Iwaki 100RLT for sale...
RO/DI and FW resevior are downstairs in the garage below my tank and sump. i've got an osmolator pump in the resevoir pumping to my sump (about 3' vertical climb) above, resevoir is almost ceiling height in garage. all run through 1/4" tubing. preferably i'd like to "T" off the feed to the sump and put a valve in so i could feed my change water through the same ATO line.

so no, it doesn't need to be HUGE gallonage per hour but something with good pressure i suppose. needs to go from my garage floor, 1 floor up, say 10'-12" in vertical height.

do the iwaki's have high pressure ratings?
