    I'm not sure it's the best but I am sure it's the most expensive. Installing a holding tank and a pump for one fixture just isn't cost efficient. Unless you're ready to go into major surgery and tear up your basement floor for a drain line plus a vent run out the roof or revented back in the attic I would give serious thought to installing the washer where it could be drained. Let me know what you decide. Tom
