How far can a RO/DI setup push water?

Thinking about relocating my WC setup, but dont want to tap another pipe. How far could it push filtered water? I would need it to push it about 10-15 ft to a new reservoir.

I was pushing it about 15 -20ft also with no issues. As long as its a back pressure free line without lots of head pressure or the like I would assume you could go pretty far without causing problems
