I have a basement bathroom and I know that the traditional way is to install a plastic sewage tub and install a submersible pump inside, but I don't see why this can't be done with a non-submersible pump instead, so that I can just have pipes in the sewage tub instead of marinating the pump, and in the case of a repair, the pump will be readily accessible. I was thinking two valves on the suction and discharge so the pump can easily be replaced or repaired without a mess.
Can someone recommend a non-submersible pump that I can use for this? I plan to just drop a 3" or 4" pipe into the tub and connect the other end to the intake of the pump. I know some will question that a float is needed inside the tub, but I plan to install some sort of 2 prong water sensor about 6" off the bottom of the tub to activate the pump as the tub fills. I know they have those saniflow systems, but I'm not interested in those.
I don't see why this cannot work. I just need to find a proper pump. Thanks.
