    Auto Water Change 1/4” hose

    What pumps if any do I need using DOS for pulling and pushing the water 100 feet? 10 feet up, 70 feet across, 10 feet down. Extra 10 feet for curves.

    Basic set up, mixing and waste tanks in garage.
    DOS next to tank in living room. Running hoses up the wall, across the attic space, and down Athena wall.

    The DOS will work fine. Just keep in mind it will take quite a while priming the pumps the first time. Mine goes through 30 feet of 1/4" tubing and it took about 6 minutes holding the priming button before water finally made it all the way through. The nice thing is that once the tubing is full of water it will remain there indefinitely.

    Make sure you get 4mm id 6mm od tubing. You dont want to pull two runs of 100' only to find out the tubing wont seal properly.
