if your sump is in the basement you can easily topoff into that. if you need to topoff to the main floor the typical topoff pumps may not have enough power to get it there. you can choose an ato that includes a pump powerful enough or in the case of something like the tunze osmolator you can buy an add-on that allows you to connect a pump other than the one they sell with the unit.

which ato do you have or plan to get?

The jbj ato allows you to run any pump you want (up to 2A i believe), i use a system that connects straight to my ro/di system to top off my tank as my ro/di system is in my garage and this way i can run a 1/4" line to my tank which is easy to hide (no float valves tho)
