I'm planning to put in a bathroom in the basement with a jacuzzi tub in the corner I can't get any downward pitch on the water drain. I was wondering if I could use a small water pump to push the water up a pipe in order o get enough pitch to then come around the walls to get to the saniflo unit I plan to install?

push the water up a pipe

Why push water up the pipe? Why not just attach a hose temporarily and pump the water any place you want?

Only way that is permanent is to install a LAUNDRY TRAY PUMP and pump it up and over to your main drain line.

Good luck!

I'm a little confused. If you can't drain the tub how are you draining the other fixtures?
Back to you, Tom, and
