Due to worsening of my wife's knee issues, I decided to add an new laundry station to our first floor living area while retaining the former laundry in our unfinished basement as a backup. The basement washer discharges into the laundry tubs that drain directly to the cesspool, thereby bypassing the septic tank.
I would like to drain the new front load washer into the basement laundry tubs that would be about 40-45 horizontal feet away rather than discharge through the septic tank system.
My thought was to run the washer discharge hose to a washer manufacturer's siphon break to be located above the washer and then run a 1" rubber washer hose or 1 1/4" PVC pipe vertically down and then horizontally to the tubs. This would be done without concern for pitching the drain pipe at a 1/4" slope as the discharge water will be under the washer's pump pressure.
Any problem(s) with this plan?
