My water mixing station is in my basement - it's a rise of 14' with overall length of ~25' from my tank on the main floor.
I have the DOS but can't figure out if I should put the DOS near the tank or down by the mixing station. Also running a ATOv2 from the mixing station area.
I have the long apex cord and extra apex power bar to connect if I choose to put DOS near the mixing station. As I'm also going to use the neptune ATOv2, I am going to have Apex run down there anyway. I've the John Guest fittings and converting the Neptune to use RO tube.
If the DOS is near the mixing station it will be below the tank and I worry about a siphon, especially for the water removal side as that tube has to be under the water line. While it won't be too deep in the sump. Still if a siphon happens it will cause issues as the ATO will kick in etc.
If I put the DOS up near the tank - I've been told they are noisy, as well as I don't have a lot of room up here. Like to do it downstairs.
Any tips from those that are using DOS for W/C with a mixing station on a lower level?
