Looking for a pump recommendation. I was using the Pmup to push water from my 65 gallon storage container in the garage to a 5 gallon ATO reservoir behind my stand. I use the reservoir for my Tunze ATO and for a Versa to pull water into the Kalk reactor. The entire thing ran through Apex using optical sensors, float safety cut off, run maximums, and leak detector. It worked really well and would take about 20 minutes every 4 days to fill up.

So now the problem..........the Pmup sucks and only lasted 3 months. I will file a warranty claim for it, but I would like something a little more robust. The pump will need a minimum of 12 feet head pressure and be able to use 1/4 RODI line since that's what I have ran and don't intend to run another line. I would prefer not using a dosing pump. I was looking at the Spetrapure; however, they are out of stock and I really can't stomach $260 to fill up an ATO reservoir.
Anyone have ideas? TIA

Kinda of confused

Is this what your looking for?

 
I am on my third pmup. One (v1) lasted several years, the second (v2) died very fast a few months maybe but I don't remember. The third (also v2) is still running. I am also looking for a good alternative pump.

The problem with that pump is it’s not self priming. I have one from my faucet to my filter and it works great. I need something that takes water from one container, pushes it up into my attic, and then down into another container. The Pmup did that perfectly…..until it didn’t.
