Default Water supply to basement

Hi,

I will be running mains water into a basement, what's the best way of
getting used water out to the drain?
(there will be no solids in it)

Saniflo do stuff but other recommendations would be interesting.

Cheers,
Rick

How do you know there'll be no solids? If it's a sink then someone
will squish something really gross down it sooner or later. You'd be
surprised at what you can squish through a plug hole.

I suppose it depends upon how cheap you want things to be. Building a sump
or storage tank and fitting a submersible pump with a float switch is the
cheap option. You can get a pump of eBay for about £30.
