    Dos awc set up questions.

    Looking to set up my dos in the garage of a split level home, The rise would be close to 20ft and distance would be close to 40-45ish ft. Would this still work if im going up through my attic, Or the easyest way would be through the side of the garage And try to insulate it from winter and summer heat. The second is the easiest and shortest about 25-30ft, 13ft rise. But looking for options as I'm not sure the dose will run that far Attic wise. Also is it 24ft in Hight from the pump head or from the water barrel its pulling from? I could mount the pump higher to reduce run and head height but looking for more info or experience than I with this. Thanks for any info or options for my questions.

    According to Neptune, the DOS can pump 24 vertical feet without any loss of head pressure. My mixing station is in my garage with a 30 foot feed to my display tank with absolutely no problems.

    Because the DOS runs so slowly, vertical rise is the only thing that matters. As long as you keep that below 24ft it will work fine.
