Hello,

I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations on which enclosed pump systems are good to use to help drain a wet bar sink in basement.

Breaking up concrete to tie into bathroom plumbing is not an option, so I was going to install an ejector pump below the sink and pump the water into my existing 4" main line, and also tie into existing 2" vent. I am looking for which products are best ones to use (quality, last a while, not too loud, etc.) I can not use the vent-less type systems, inspector said it needs to be tied into vent.

Looking for something like this: Zoeller 105-0001 Laundry Pump Package Including M53 Sump Pump - Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/Zoeller-105-0001-Laundry-Package-Including/dp/B0009TCDZ2)

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve

Funny enough, I only recommend and install the pump you have chosen... ;)

I'm pretty sure everyone on the plumbing page will feel the same way as they all recommend the zoeller pump for sump pumps and sewage ejectors, so it's a pretty safe bet there will be a unanimous agreement on this!

I know zoeller is a good brand, but there is one zoeller pump that is not very good, but I can not remember which model it was. I believe it was one of the lowest end models (size, HP, etc.) We bought a new house in 09, we move in, and the ejector pump was not working, it eventually was replaced 3 times by the contractor with the same pump, within a 1-1.5 year period. After the third time, we eventually did not even tell the contractor, we bought our own pump, different model, and its been fine for 2 or 3 years now. My wife works for a company that sells pumps, and this model was known to have a defective float switch at the time we kept getting them from the contractor. Her company wouldn't even sell that pump on there website, because they knew it had problems.

Thanks,
Steve
