DOS physical setup ?
I would like to setup a DOS for an auto water change. My tank is on the first floor and my mixing station is in the basement about 35 feet away, will this work? The specs show lift and suction max is 24 foot.

The vertical distance is about 10 foot and the horizontal distance is about 25 foot. I can place the DOS anywhere along the way but would like to place it in the stand or by the mixing station if it will work.

In my personal opinion/experience you shouldn't have issues. If a DOS can pump 24 feet vertically 10 is less than half. The horizontal distance will give a small impact if any. Placement of the pump horizontal is also a very small factor. The best pumping would be with the pump vertically half way up the vertical distance or five feet from the ground floor but there are usually issues that make this unfeasible.
