: : They also make a toilet with it's own pump out tank. If the sewer exits the building above the basement floor level, you will have to pump it out with a tank and pump inside the building, anyway.

: Will the drain work by gravity if it's in the floor, or will it work with a wall hung or do you need to pump up. That's the starting point. Simple toilet in the floor or wall hung is cheapest. Next, I like the Quik Jon by Zoeller. Hill

Thanks all for the great input and the link.

We are going to consider the wall hung and the Zoeller unit after we pull off our paneling and fully expose our pipes to see what we are truly dealing with. A couple of follow-up questions:

1) Does anyone have any experience with the Zoeller unit for reliability and flushing problems? We kind of like this option as it would allow us to discharge at a higher point and potentially alleviate possible septic caused backup problems.

2) With our washing machine on the same level, are there any there any rule of thumbs for how to combine toilet discharge into the current system?

Thanks again,

Rob
