AWC Plumbing Question

[ReefChef19]

Good evening everyone, I hope everyone is having a great Monday! Today I made a little more progress as far as my preparations for my 750xxl! I'm doing it a bit slow and in stages because it will be getting really crazy at work soon. I have my mixing station in place and dry plumbed, I will finish it once I get my pump within the next couple of weeks. I would like to somehow connect my tank to my plumbing for a awc, @jcook54 suggested setting up a tank in my garage next to the mixing station and plumbing it that way. Unfortunately if I put anything else into the garage I may have an unwanted war with the wife! As you can see, I left the ends on the bottom blank with a union ball valve for the moment. Please bring any ideas, it doesn't have to be an awc, at least if I could set it up as to where I don't have to carry any buckets I'm happy! I can move around in the crawl space pretty easy, so it wouldn't be a big problem either way. Thank you guys for all of your help and patience so far.

Sorry it isn't a very good picture, but the tank will be where the chair is now.

1.Is there some way I can connect to the end of that and run a pipe under my crawl space, and if i did that how would i connect into the sump.
2.Would an Apex dos work from that distance, not much head but about a 30ft run.
3.For dumping the sump Could I add a union tee valve on my return below a ball valve and pump my water out that way under the crawl space into my crawl space sump drain?

I set up a dos for awc this past weekend. Dos is in the basement and the run to my drain line is 26 or so feet and no issues moving the water that far.

Thanks, did you also connect your line for your ato straight into your rodi container? Would it cause any issues with the supply lines having to go that far, I'm just afraid of having old water sitting the lines then getting pushed through with the new water if that makes sense.

So for my setup. I use the Neptune ATK for my top off. The pump is in my freshwater container. Then the dos to pull salt water out from sump and add new saltwater in from mixing container. The only long run is for the drain. The lines for auto top off and fill are only 7 or so feet. As for how long the water sits I guess that would depend on the frequency and volume you change. That can all be set up when you program the dos. But I would think if the line is not exposed to any extreme conditions then sitting in the line is not that different then sitting in your holding tank
