    Drainlkes Sink
    I would like to install a sink in a room that has no drain. Because I don't want to open the concrete floor in order to lay a drain pipe, I would like to use a container that catches the drain water and than pumps it out automatically once the container is at a certain level.
    Because the container is evacuated by a pump I would not have any restrictions with respect to the routing of the drain pipe (or hose) and could actually run it over-head trough the ceiling (have a wide open space there).
    Does anybody know of an existing system or would I have to build it out of available components?

    Thanks for your help,
    Bernie
