I wasn't sure where to post this question, since I plan to have this done professionally.
Within the next few weeks we will be moving into a "new" house that has a fantastic unfinished area in which to e-brew. Additionally, there is a very nice serving bar in one of the finished rooms. Unfortunately, this bar has no sink. The plumbing is overhead in this basement until it reaches the far end, so cutting into the slab is probably not an option.
Does anyone have any experience with gray water lift stations for use in basements? It has become very common in my area to install sewage lift stations below the slab for plumbing basement baths in new homes. But . . . I'm not looking to lift solid waste uphill, just sink water.
I searched some DIY forums and found the following pump recommended - especially where folks were trying to install laundry rooms in unplumbed basements:

I will likely call a plumber to evaluate my situation. I'd like to install a sink into the bar as well as have a sink in the unfinished shop (where I see the drain pipes right above my head.
Anyway, I'd appreciate hearing of your experiences and recommendations.
Thanks,
Keith
