Thanks Walt,
I did look at some Peristaltic pumps on Azon, But it looked like they were all small dosing types. I'll look a little harder. If I drill through the bathroom tile wall the wife might hurt me, She gave me that look when she saw the size of the water tanks lol. Or I'd have to put in a new sink with a cabinet to hide it in, We have a pedestal type in there now with a funky flexable drainpipe with no room to tap above the P trap or past it. It's a small bathroom in a very small house. I'll be posting a complete build thread with lots of photos soon. I may be over thinking this, But my newest idea this morning is to convert the return line from sump to the DT with a Tee and 2 valves going into the external mixing pump manifold, Unscrew the lockline and screw in a 90 and push in a 6" or 8" piece of PVC pointing down for a large change/drain, Then put the LL back on to fill up through the sump or the mix pump. Of course that means I will need a larger external pump and run the drain line overhead to the laundry. That will also enable me to flush some FW with Vinegar through the drain once in a while so salt and stuff doesn't build up. Might as well do it right the first time and not need to mess with it afterwards. No buckets and hoses.
