looking for Peristaltic pump for ATO res. in basement.

Devaji · 2024-10-22T14:42:09-0400

has anyone used this for ATO top off from basement?
Amazon product

I have say 8ft of head and about 8' run to sump to my avast ATO the diaphragm pump is quite load and the other half says I need to do something.

I know there is a spectra pure one but that is quite a lot of $$$

what about a versa?

I do have an apex with a DOS but want to set that up for AWC and from what I read the DOS was not intended for ATO use? IDK
I would prefire a stand alone unit anyway.

open to options. I am sure there are some out there I am not thinking about.

cheaper the better so I could use it on the other tank too.
that said I want reliability for cost.

Avast ATO use sicce pumps. Just get a sicce pump that’s capable of 8’ head pressure.

that does not works as the ATO is under the tank and the RODI res. is in the basement. so it has to suck or pull water up not push.

I have 4 RODI tubes coming through the finished wall. so no real way to get cords down there.
that is why I am thinking of a peristaltic pump.

there must be others out there that have there ATO res. in the basement...

I use a versa to pump fsw up from the basement for awcs. Works great. Have to change the peri tubing every 6 to 8 mos. We diy that.

Or this, 20 ft head.
