Hi All,

Great site with lots of good info.

I'm currently finishing my basement and the spot for the bar is nowhere near the waste lines. There is a 2" line directly overhead coming from the kitchen sink and dishwasher but that's it. I could drain it along the perimeter walls but it would be at least a 40 ft run to the ejector pit. I'm not sure its worth all the work. I'm definately not willing to bust up the basement floor either. I'll just make it a dry bar before I do that.

I have found the Sanivite pumps but can't get a good idea for how well they work. Also, I would one of these vent without sucking out the p-trap on the sink. There is no vent line nearby.

I'm thinking there is no real good solution to this however the sump is directly below the sink.;)

Thanks in advance.

You can use a greywater pump in a 3-5 gal basin. If yr clever you can put it behind the wall in a storage space.
Confirm this, but I think bkz it's a greywater sump, it doesn't have to be sealed, and is ok to be exposed. You might not have to vent it either if it's open. But confirm that too.

A hotplate/saucepan under the sink?

did I understand this right.....

you are putting in a bar sink that you might use once in a while
and you got a sump pit right under the sink area????
