Basement sink pump recommendations

[daveverdo]

Hey Guys

This may be a little off topic but -

I am setting up a sump in my basement and want to install a tub sink nearby.

I the sewar line is about four feet high in the basement so I need a waste pump for the sink. Anyone have something like this in their basement.

So far, I am considering two pumps.

Any other suggestions or comments would be greatly appreciated.

I have one installed in my fish room. It was professionally installed by a plumber though. Kind of expensive, about $1000. Works very well though. More power to you if you can do it yourself. Too involved for me. If I can answer any questions about it though just let me know.

A utility sink isn't a big problem so either of those will work great. Just think about what happens when your sewer line plugs between where you tap it in the basement and the street. You don't want the resulting pressure from the upstairs having the ability to force a leak at your tap somehow, back feeding into your sump and allowing an overflow, etc.

You simply MUST have this covered somehow. Or it will occur.
