Want to relocate a standard clothes washer. This is on slab construction
so
no way (other than hammer out floor) to run new drains. Existing drain is
about 4' of the floor and machine pumps fine. If it would pump to ceiling
height I could slope a new drain across the attic and back down to the
existing drain. Anyone know if a washing machine pump will pump up 8' ??

Should be no problem but be sure to use at least a 2 inch pipe and an air
gap around the washer hose so it doesn't siphon or run back into the washer.
