Unless the US equipment is significantly different to that here, the rotary pump couldn't care less if the water line is drawing from a bottle/tank or from mains. I've had a BI converted to rotary for nearly three years, drawing from a 20 litre container sitting on the floor. So not only does it have no line pressure, it has to lift the water about 700mm in height! But it is absolutely no problem, and indeed, many commercial hire coffee carts here do the same if the venue doesn't have a suitable water line to connect to..

In an email I received from Todd S. of WLL he stated, "we want 5 PSI when a water line is hooked to a vibration pump. You can have between 5 an 50 for a Rotary pump. It is not that picky." That is a direct quote. The initial 5 psi max that WLL a mistake. 5 psi was the minimum operating psi requirement. Those using a bottle feed system may need to rethink it....or maybe not.
