Osmolator extension?

Yes, you can just use 16 gauge speaker wire and they sell those connectors at Radio Shack as European Junction Blocks and you just break off the number of terminals you need. The pump can only pump against 9-10ft of head so keep that in mind, I wouldn't have it go up more than 5-6 ft and over more than 10-12.

Roger,
I am looking at routing my osmolator to my RO container in a different room in the house. I am looking at about 6ft of head and 20ft of length. Can I accomplish this with a different pump or perhaps by just using a bigger diameter hose?

You woulde likely need the switched socket outlet and a larger pump of your choice, like a small Iwaki. Personally I would just fill a smaller reservoir under the tank, this adds a fourth safety element in that even if every safety fails only a limited volume of water could be pumped into the tank.
We make a switched socket that uses the 9V from the osmolator to throw a relay on a 115V socket and then you can use any pump with a draw under 150W, I would look for a pump using under 100w figuring that start up draw is higher. A small Iwaki pump might perfectly fit the bill.
