    Converting a toilet/sink to a shower
    Hi,

    I have a bathroom that consists of only a toilet and a sink. I wish to add some kind of shower stall (doesn't have to be a separate compartment) to this bathroom.

    I can easily add a showerhead to the sink faucet, but my main concern is water drainage. Maybe I would shower in a large tub, but having to dump out the water every time after I shower could be a pain.

    There is no drain in the floor, and I was thinking if there was some easy solution to drain water from the tub to the toilet or sink. I don't want to remodel the bathroom or destroy anything to create a drain.

    Would a machine pump work? Or is there some other drainage device?

    Thank you very much!

    Hey Max,

    With the possible exception of a few boat or travel trailer showers that come with a 50 gallon holding tank but no pump there are no home showers on the market that would fill your bill. This leaves you with two options. Sponge baths or stand in a wash tub. Sorry Tom
