Hi- I really appreciate the people that take the time to post advice on this forum or others. Thank you to Terry for hosting the site. I installed a basement bathroom awhile back and installed my first sewage ejector. I used a pre-packaged unit from Little Giant. We are now doing a new addition and a proposed bathroom is located at
the far end of the addition and by the time the drain gets to the house it will be too low to drain into the existing sewer lines necessitating the use of another pump. The addition is ground level garage space with living space above. We have roughed in a 3 inch drain pipe that will run under the slab. By the time the pipe gets to the proposed location of the sewage basin the bottom of the pipe will be 23" from the top of the cement floor. It appears most basins have 24 inches or so under the inlet. I am unaware if their is a minimum distance required from the inlet pipe to the bottom of the basin. I'm trying to figure out the best solution to this situation. Risers or pouring a shelf in the floor to accommodate a standard basin or look for a 48 inch basin so I can keep the lid even with the poured floor. Thanks for your suggestions
