    My sump is about 6 ft from where I would like to place my dosing bottles. I can either put the pump right over the bottle and then run a long line to the sump or put the pumps over the sump and have them pull a long way from the bottle.

    Which is better for a brs dosing pump. Push a long distance or pull a long distance?

    I would be surprised if it makes a difference with the way those pumps work.

    That's what I was thinking, but I just wasn't sure. It would be better for me to push it.
