I want to put one in my above grade basement laundry room
They're pretty similar to updog toilets.
what's a toilet?
hello sirs
ligma balls
Whats updog?
You have been annoying me colin robinson
>Garbage disposal for shitters.
The horror. The horror.
Had one in my basement for 15 years. It just works anon. Made by that French company, don't remember the name, but frog poop destroyer is good.
I try not think about it or open the magic white box.
what happens if I need to flush twine, or lengths of steel wire?
Then consider an alternative source of dietary fiber.
Go to starbucks restroom for that.
>above grade basement
Can you expand on this topic?
Its just a walkout with no plumbing under it.. maybe the wrong way to describe it i was trying to be concise
Whats the alternative?
gravity? do you know what above grade is?
Yes
The plumbing is above grade i dont want to drill under my house to put a toilet in
Pussy
If you have the fall then rent a jackhammer and start busting concrete up. This contraption looks like it has way too many moving parts to be any kind of cost effective solution, plus you'll still have to find a good place to tie it into the stack.
> its just a walkout with no plumbing under it.
>under
>do you know how gravity works?
Many such cases.
>Its just a walkout
What's a "walk-out?" IS there a raised floor, slab on grade, or dirt floor?
Slab
>Whats the alternative?
Shit in a bucket. Dump bucket over neighbor's fence.
>Whats the alternative?
Gravity.
Why would you need a sewage ejection pump if the installation is above grade?
man, it smells like upflush in here
>space heater turns on
>blows breaker
>can't flush
>waddle to panel, reset breaker
>phew, flushed
>pressurized waste seeps through crack in pipe, filling cavities in wall with low-cost, eco friendly dung insulation
Where does the sewer vent line connect to this thing?
The main line where it always was
>Main line clogs
>Shit disposal machine keeps pumping shit into the clogged line
>Shit pours out of vent all over your roof
>Walk out of bathroom and see that it is raining
>mfw weatherman said no rain this week
>Walk outside and get showered with brown water pouring off of your roof
Why would a shit pump make you oblivious to a clog?
If the clog is further down the line, the pump would just pump sewage into the line until it starts flowing up the vent
Why would it come out the highest point before you realized there was an issue?
How would you know there is an issue? The pump is pumping the sewage into the blocked line, so your toilet isn't going to clog to indicate a problem. I can't tell if you are moronic, autistic, or both
Most people have more plumbing than a single toilet in their home
So, moronic? Got it.
At least i have a sink
I think it might be smarter than you
Because it understands how water works? Unlike you..
Do you suppose that the water from a sink next to the toilet in a basement would be able to flow up a pipe unassisted?
Think about this scenario for just a minute (or maybe 10 or 20 in your case), and then walk into traffic
Wow youre even dumber than i thought
Think harder, moron.
Do I need to draw you a picture with crayons to get on your level?
Yes please
I need to know how the shit flows to the roof according to your pee brain
You are like an 8 year old downy
Refer to
And if the clog is before those other toilets?
You just keep getting more and more moronic.
If youve plumbed your house in such a way that shit raining from the roof is a possibility, youre not in a position to call anyone else moronic
How would you prevent this scenario with plumbing?
By not doing this
That's code. If you don't do it that way, you will literally have to tear out your plumbing and redo it until it looks like this.
Please, explain your moronic thoughts, using words or diagrams, on how this scenario could be prevented using plumbing
You are not worth the effort
yes, works just fine.
dont cheap out on pump, plumbing and electrican or you will literally have your basement full of shit.
I put one in a basement in 2018. Its still functioning as it should, no issue.
Those who act like an upflush toilet properly plumbed in a house are a greater danger for nasties getting in your walls have never owned, installed or maintained houses. Could they fail? Potentially. Can any plumbing connector? Yes.
The problems in houses arise from dishwasher drains, water softener discharge line leaking, washing machine drain pumps failing and mold in walls of finished basements before the upflush toilet fails.
But all you hear on the internet is ew, poo.
Your walls are already full of connections that can weep. They usually dont. Even if you plumb in a pump.
It was noisy. That was all.
Get a quality one.
They are noisy
The most epic double flushers ever
bro if the pump brakes from a too hard shit of yours you can fingern around is shit drenged electronics have fun with that
I had one that decided to burn out the motor on NEW YEARS DAY.
>hungover from new year's eve
>wake up and take a piss
>flush toilet, start washing hands
>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>some alarm that I've never heard before is going off
>louder than any smoke detector
>louder than any train whistle
>louder than the nukes dropped on japan
>ohh shit it's in the furnace room
>think there a water leak or the carbon monoxide alarm is going off
>open furnace door
>EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>cover ears with hands
>see blinking light
>remove hand from right ear and flick switch on tiny box on wall
>temporarily deaf
>turn around and see dad and brother asking me what happened
>like in a war movie their mouths are moving but I can't hear anything
>I point at alarm box, and read it
>TANK ALERT
>point at cord
>point at floor
>so about 3 minutes later when I can actually hear again we figure out what the alarm means
>breaker is blow
>flick it on, lights dim just a bit and the breaker flicks back off
>emptying poopoopeepee water with a hand pump into 5 gallon buckets
>dumping shit water near the forest line (upwind so it doesn't stink up our house)
>throw up
>taking the pump thing out and putting it in a trash bag so it doesn't drip everywhere
>take pump outside
>throw up
>put the pump in a large plastic storage container and trying to get it to work
>all it does is blow the the 20 amp breaker
>frick
>driving to lowes to get a new pump
>500 dollarydoos
>drive home and put pump in hole
>pipe attachment is different and we don't have any plumbing stuff that fits
>throw up again before driving back to lowes
And that's all I remember.
We obviously put it back together and got the new one working, but I legitimately tried to erase that memory from my head.
Glad the alarm worked lol, but it was so loud even one of my neighbors asked what happened.
>You realize that plumbers dig through people's shit every single day and are happy to do so.
Plumbers are inhuman.
Scat is nature's Play Doh. Becum janitor and revel in the goo (and tampoons...)
I like the idea of you living in a world where shit might come out the roof
Explain how a pump, pumping shit, with the only exit being the vent, would not pump shit up the vent. I'm still waiting.
Again ill refer you to this post
Only an absolute moron would build it with a single exit
an indoor bathroom without a sink sounds gross dude
Are you Black folk really that dumb? How the frick would the sink work below ground if it wasn't ALSO attached to the fricking pump? Do you think water from a sink magically fricking rises?
Do you think the whole house is underground or something? Are you one of those sea can shitters?
Are you aware that plumbing has to disperse throughout the house and isn't all in the same fricking spot?
Youre almost there!
So if the toilet in the basement is on a different branch of plumbing from other toilets, would it be possible for a blockage to form somewhere between the basement toilet and another toilet?
Simple yes or no will suffice
here comes the mental miget gymastics team
Are all of your toilets and sinks in the exact same spot, or are they in different spots with pipes running to those spots? Do you even have indoor plumbing?
None of them are above the roof
The vents are
The vents are toilets and sinks?
Whered you go?
Did you finally realize how fricking stupid you are?
At least I'm smart enough to understand that a pumped liquid can have much more pressure than a liquid draining by gravity.
proud of u
Installed one of these in my renovated basement about 9 months ago, works pretty good.
