I'm putting a toilet and urinal in a new building that is down hill from my existing home and septic. I was planning on using the Sanicubic 1 for the grinding and pumping duties. It's specs say it has a max vertical of 38' and horizontal of 328' with a 1 1/2" discharge size. After I exit the building under the footing for frost protection it will be an 80' run with gradual climb of 4' over that distance to maintain frost protection. I would then enter the basement through the poured wall and I will need to lift another 2' to the septic line. Is this possible the way I am planning or do I need another approach? I realize the vertical rise should be first then down hill from there but this is not an option in my case. Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

The fact that the pump would have to cycle several times to clear the 80' up-sloping output line scares me since that produces visions of solids sliding back toward the pump between cycles and accumulating there and while even possibly sticking in clumps all along the way. But, the specs do say 38' vertical and you are talking about only 6'.

Hey, wait a minute.
