R.O unit location questions?

Gotta another question/call for help situation.

Just moved into a house. My laundry room is located between 2 bedrooms, one of the bedrooms is one i'm using for the op. You think it's possible I can tap into the washer line for my ro system?...and if so, can I run the filtered ro line through the wall, into the next bedroom and filling my 35 gal rez with float valve?. Would the ro system have enough pressure to reach say roughly 30 feet?

I'm using the HydroLogic 100.

Any info on this would help me greatly.

The ro leaves the unit under pressure. it can be pumped directly into an accumulator (pressure vessel). it`ll have no problem with 30ft even if its vertical ;)
 
Yes with the right connector that fits between the washer cold water line and the water valve you'll be fine but also make sure to put a ball valve between the cold water supply and the intake of the ro system so you don't have a live line 24/7. You only want to top off your res when you need to. The reason I say that is I had a float valve failure before from keeping the line live and overflowed my res when I wasn't around and flooded my room. It was a disaster.
