Hi, I am having a hard time figuring out what I can and cannot do in my closet/waterheater/powder room. There is enough room to put a shower and a toilet. There is already a sink which has been rigged to drain into the waterheater's drain pipe. This drain pipe is about 1" and disappears into the wall. Other then that 1" pipe the only larger drain pipe would be a toilet pipe which is 30 to 40 feet away(half of that being under a concrete slab porch). I really don't want to break the concrete slab. While willing (if cost effiective), I don't really want to drill through the exterior brick wall which is the only way I might be able to install a sump. But seriously, most of the options I've found involve using some type of basement bathroom system just because they have grinders which allows the toilet to hook up to be pumped into a smaller pipe drain. I will have to install a false floor in almost all my options so I am not so sure I need a pump, just a grinder. So I guess what I am asking is what is the best/cheapest options to get a toilet into my powder room?

I drew picture to help explain my current setup.

Your best bet would be a SaniFlow system. Thiswould allow you to install a full bathroom group consisting of atoilet,lavatory and shower. Check it out at; http://www.saniflo.com/ Good luck, Tom
