Shower in Basement

Posted by Dave in RI on November 09, 19100 at 12:27:38:
I have a saniflow toilet for my basement. It can handle the run off from a sink, shower, and the waste from the toilet. My question is what is the best way to get the waste water from the shower to the pump in the toilet? I understand I need a 1/4 inch drop for every foot of run, but this would require me to build the shower up, and I would like to keep as much headroom as possible. Is there a a small pump I can install under the shower to eject the water to the toilet pump? Or should I just build the shower up and break into the concrete floor to make room for the the p trap under the shower? Sorry for all these questions but I need the help. Thank in advance, Dave
