RO/DI waste water line placement

I currently use a BRS 4 stage RO/DI unit and I want to purchase 50' of the black tubing to run the waste water across the basement into a sump (I currently run it into a Brute can sitting next to it, which I then have to pump out MANY times a day using a garden hose and pool pump). To do that I need to run the tubing up approximately 5' after it leaves the RO/DI unit, across the ceiling about 40', then back down into the sump. Will this cause any issues with the RO/DI unit? Is the waste water leaving the unit strong enough to be pushed up 5' or will it just continuously siphon backwards?
