How To: Toilet/Drain Waste Up to Septic Tank

[Chuck Schmidt]

I’m contemplating putting a toilet and sink in my garage which is downhill (~30 ft) from my septic system. Any idea’s on a professional system to pump waste up to septic system. I can build a system with a small collection tank and a sump pump to move waste up to septic, but there’s got to be a packaged, ‘to code’, professional system out there in plumb land. Your help/advice would be greatly appreciated.

What you need is atank and grinder pump which has a 2″ discharge which will pump it to the septic tank real good.
