DC pumps have been gaining popularity mainly due to how quiet they operate, variable speed control, and how energy efficient they run.

However, they are not generally the go to pump when there is any significant head pressure.

Seeing how the OP said his sump will be in the basement directly below the display, head pressure will be minimal.

I can recommend a DC pump, based on my personal experience with my current system.

I too am running a remote sump in the crawlspace of my basement. In my case, the sump is actually about 14' away and about 10' below. I've been using a Magnus 12000.

Hope this helps everyone reading this thread!
