I've clogged SWMBO's laundry sink one too many times from cleaning trub and gunk out of kegs and kettles, so I'm looking at getting my own utility sink in the basement. This will be below the level of the drain, which means I'll need a pump. (Although, it's less than 5 feet below the drain, so the pump doesn't have to do much.)
I've seen pictures of other basement setups that have the pump box. My question is, what kind of pump are people using for sinks in brew areas? Has anyone gotten a "light-duty" one and been fine? Or has anyone wished for a heavy duty model? Prices on the pumps have quite a range, so there's some cash at stake here.
Some examples at Amazon:
$200 light duty
$260 light duty
$330 light/medium duty
