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' ??

Just out of curiosity, what are you going to do with the 8 feet of head
water? Sounds like an accident looking to happen to me.


If he uses a oneway valve on the bottom of the hose it should not be a
problem. I used one that way for 10 years.
