Basement Sink with SaniShower pump.
I'm planning to put in a wash sink in my below ground basement (it will
empty into a drywell, so unfortunately, no toilet). I'm looking at the SaniShower pump to pump the waste up to the 4" waste and vent stack for the kitchen sink above. http://www.needplumbingsupplies.com/...e&NpsRfrMfg=10 or: http://tinyurl.com/3adbus The cleanout for the waste water pipe is about 4.5' from the basement floor and that is where the vent ends and the waste pipe goes to the drywell, so the waste from the sink has to be above the cleanout. There already is is a 2" tap into that 4" waste pipe for the water softener flush water. Has anyone used this pump, or something similar, and if so, how well does it work? -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |

Don't you still need provisions to install a vent for the pump system just
like a sewage pump requires. "willshak" wrote in message ... I'm planning to put in a wash sink in my below ground basement (it will empty into a drywell, so unfortunately, no toilet).

I'm thinking about rinsing paint brushes or using mineral spirits or bleach from the washer and other things like that. Is it OK to add that to the groundwater near your house or won't the sink ever be used for those purposes? |

Where the pump will tap into the 4" pipe, the vent out the roof will be above the tap and the waste into the drywell below, both are in the same 4" pipe. "willshak" wrote in message ...

Is it OK to add that to the groundwater near your house or won't the sink ever be used for those purposes? No harsh chemicals. It's only for washing hands, washing artist brushes, draining the dehumidifier in the summer, and as a fresh water supply, just so I don't have to drag water up and down the stairs. I use biodegradable turpentine and brush cleaner for the paint brushes. My drywell is not for gutter draining, it is a 'greywater' septic system for the sinks, dishwater, washing machine, bath and showers. Everything but toilets, which have a separate 'blackwater' septic tank and field system. -- Bill In Hamptonburgh, NY To email, remove the double zeroes after @ |
