Here's the situation:
House was built in 1923. Thankfully they roughed in a toilet flange in the basement. However no drain for a shower or sink.
I've debated hiring someone to come in and tap into the floor drain which is approximately 10ft way. I really can do without the mess and expense. Plus I don't think we'll be in this house more than 3-4 more years.
I've looked into the sanishower http://www.saniflo.com/products/sanishower.asp
and think this may be my ticket.
My question: Can I drain the sanishower directly into a utility tub? My washing machine drains into this same utility tub without any problem.
This would eliminate tapping into the vent stack...something I would outsource to a plumber.
If I can't do this I think I can tap into the vent stack that the utility tub drains into.
I agree this is probably not the most professional approach but its for a basement bathroom that would not get alot of use....only for guests.
Thanks for the advice and great forum...I've learned alot.
