    DOS Placement For AWC

    I'm setting up a mixing station in the basement 12 feet directly below my DT. What's a better location for the DOS - in the basement or in the display stand?

    At that height either is fine since its directly below. Whatever is easier for you. If the run were a couple stories or 1 story with a long horizontal, it would need to be placed in the basement since the DOS is better at pushing than pulling.

    Just a thought Zombie: From the basement, the DOS will be pushing new mixed water to the display, but at the same time, it will be pulling old water from the display. But at least, it will have gravity in its favor.

    That is why mounting at the low point is better from a head perspective, but if you're only going a story, it's fine either way. I personally mount mine by the tank so all the control is in one location.
