I have a tri-level home & want to add toilet, sink, & shower in the basement.
I currenty have a sump pit which the washer/AC dump into-have not had any problems. I am trying to decide which way to go when it comes to adding the toilet. Most plumbers in my area recommend the sewage ejector pump. I have concerns. What might cause this to fail (other than electricity)? If it fails will my basement flood with sewage? If the pump fails, do you have a smelly, dirty pit you have to open to get it out? What if my septic system or drain field fails, will sewage back up into house? Can the sink/shower discharge into the pit or does it have to go into the sump pit?
My question regarding the upflush toilet system (like Saniflo or Qwik Jon) where does the sink/shower water discharge? Are they loud? Can they flush with one flush.
Just generally what is the buzz on these systems?
Thanks for any help. Sorry so many questions just trying to make the best decision.
