Through the floor for topups and water changes

[junk]

Looking for some advice. Tank is a 120 and still isn't totally setup.

I have a laundry room beneath the tank and I'd like to keep my RODI water, both salt and topup water in the basement then pump it up on demand. What size pump am I looking for? Also, if I do this, am I putting an auto topoff on both the RODI tank in basement and the fuge under the tank? I'd run this with 2 hoses or one? Looking for any and all ideas. This tank is killing me as it's taking over 7 months to get it setup.

Someone told me to go into the sheet rock and then thru the floor alot eaiser to patch sheet rock than hard wood. Only problem I have is it was too late already drilled the floor.

We have our tanks tied straight in to the RODI we use a kent float valve on both. No pump needed. We use to run about 30' of hose from the basement to 1st floor where the tanks are. Gravity feed down to the waste can, and pump back up using a Mag12.

That makes sense. We have carpet over our hardwood, so I'm thinking that if the hole is small enough, and in the corner of the room by the baseboard, that the carpet will hide it. If we ever pull the carpeting, a small hole that size should be easy enough to deal with. Good to keep in mind though, so thanks for bringing that up.

Thanks adesimone. Ok, just want to make sure I get what you're saying.

You have your RODI plumbed straight to the tanks and are using a float valve. Sounds good. But then you have a second line for water changes? That's the part I don't really get. If so, what diameter tubing are you using, because I'd think you'd need some decent diameter in that right? Thx.
