I am installing a Malber WD1000. I would like to permanently connect it to the plumbing under the bathroom sink. The drain 23" from the floor and I can access both the hot and cold pipes there. The only problem is that the closest I can get the machine to the sink is 7 feet. Is that too far. The directions say 6 feet from the drain and 5 feet from the water source. I am hoping that there is a little room to extend those numbers.

Anyone have experience with this?
