Ok...so here is my challenge:
Question 1: Do I even need a Booster Pump? - I'm attempting to install a drain pipe and I only have a 5" drop (no pitch) over a 74" run. Basically it will act as a long P-Trap. My rise pipe from bottom of floor to male end of sink drain is 22" and my rise 74" away from sink from floor to outlet is 17". I don't have any pitch room for my 74" run as I am between a concrete base floor and an elevated wood floor with only 1 1/2" height.
Question 2: In the likely event I will need a booster/sump pump, is an under counter direct connect pump better than a pump in a tank or is the tank option the better way to go. I'm leaning towards the pump in the tank option.
Question 3: Should either pump option be my solution, I would need a side outlet discharge that 90's downward towards the floor. My application is not a upward discharge so my concern is that the head pressure will be too great for a side discharge that will run horizontally about 8" and then 90 elbow downward towards floor another approx. 14" (depending on height of side discharge) then 90's again to run a level 74" (between concrete floor and wood floor) to another 90 elbow which runs up about 17" to 90 elbow into a properly pitched drain pipe stubbed through side wall under counter. So total in all I will have (4) 90 elbows in a level 74" run with roughly a 5" elevation drop from sink drain to drain pipe opening.
Any help in the above would be greatly appreciated!!!!
