ATO Pump Ideas?

[Blstravler]

So I’m planning on switching over to a full hydros system and am in the planning stage. The first hurdle I’ve come across is the ATO pump has a max head pressure of 8 feet and my ATO reservoir is about 14 feet below my tank in my basement. Has anyone come across a different pump that would work or maybe someone has used the ATO pump and it is capable of reaching 14feet?

I’ve thought about using one of the dosing pumps on the X10 as the ATO Pump do bring the water up to my sump, has anyone done this as an alternative?

I use a Hydros simple doser as my ATO since my reservoir is in the garage and the tank is 35ft away. I have the tubing run up through the attic to the tank. It has a flow rate around 43ml a minute.

Is that this one? Also do you have the doser closer to your tank or your reservoir?

That is the one. The ATO doser is closer to my reservoir but I also use dosing pumps for my AWC and the one that does the drain is in the garage and pulls the water from my sump at the tank up through the attic and 35ft to the pump in the garage. Then it goes back up through the attic another 20ft and down a wall to the kitchen sink drain. I was using Intllab but switched to the dosers on a Minnow for AWC pumps.
