I guess I can't ask a more odd question than this, but I'm sure I will sometime.
To clean various maple components I want to use very hot water, and that is only available in the block basement under a mobile home where my hobby maple project lives.
The main sewer drain to the septic system is roughly 4-5 feet above the basement floor.
I'm considering installing a single laundry tub, but I'll need to also install a drain pump to lift the grey water above the main sewer for gravity flow to take over.
I checked the hot water temp and found it around 130 degrees.
Most of the inexpensive drain pumps aren't capable of handling hot water, and certainly not as a continuous flow - or the internal thermal protector will apparently trip.
These all seem to be designed similar to a utility trash pump which to me means they rely on cool water flowing through them, as well as the housing being submerged, to keep the unit cool.
A friend mentioned a company called Saniflo since they make equipment approved by health departments for commercial use, but their equipment all require the unit be vented - and not just with a typical mechanical automatic vent.
This will be a problem for my application.
Has anyone had the need to install a similar system, and what did you use?
