Question GE Reverse Osmosis in basement?

I bought a GE Reverse Osmosis Filtration System, gxrm10rbl
I would like to mount the tank in the basement and keep the filter part of the unit under the sink. I do not have room under my sink for the tank.
The tank will be below the faucet by about 8 feet.
Does anyone know if I will need a pump or does the system have enough pressure?
Thanks in advance for your time.

it all works on the water pressure so having the tank or the entire system in the basement, like I have, will not be an issue.

Thanks Marq1
Cool, it does say they can be installed in the basement but wanted to check with someone that has done it.
Have you ever tried connecting (daisy chaining) two tanks together? I have an older system that the filters are too hard to find and pretty expensive so was wondering if I could utilize that other tank for more capacity.

If you don't like the pressure after installing your system in the basement a pump can be easily added in the future.
