What you probably don't know is the sump will be in my office, on the other side of the wall from the DT.
So to answer your question, I'll have roughly 4 verticle feet, 3 horizontal feet, and a bunch of 90s, unions and a true union ball valve. This gives me somewhere around 5-6 feet of head pressure with this pump. This pump only puts out 450GPH @ 2 meters, so I should be OK. I will be running this circuit with a ball valve to bleed off excess back to the sump, so no worries if it's too much.
I can only hope that I get around 6-700GPH when the smoke clears.
