ato pump in basement?

It may not when absolutely brand new but you need to study up on peristaltic pumps before investing. In thw water/wastewater industry we use peristaltic pumps for many chemical feed duties and a 2 roller pukp is pretty low end. You also want to find out what it uses for tubing, good pumps use very expensive chemical resistant silicone tubing while others use lower quality tubing that wil not last as long so you better have a spare tube set on hand. You get what you pay for.
