Unusual Project with Marine Toilets

Unusual Project with Marine Toilets

Unusual Project with Marine Toilets

(OP)
Homeowner wants a toilet in his basement.  Toilet is to discharge in his sewer pipe connection roughly 4' above basement floor. Since gravity flow is out of the question, we are exploring a Raritan marine electric toilet operating at 120V/240V.  
Questions:
1) Would this be an unusual application for such type of toilet?
2)Will the macerated unit be capable of discharging to the sewer connection. Note, discharge line (1" or 1-1/2 dia.)  to sewer connection would be under 10' long.
3)Since this type of toilet has an electric pump for flushing water and the home owner has a municipal water pressure of 75 psig, can the toilet just operate on water pressure alone?

RE: Unusual Project with Marine Toilets

As jmw notes, there are no shortage of "up flushing" toilets for just such applications.

Anything with "marine" in the name is guaranteed to be four times the cost of a "terrestrial" version.

As it's a marine toilet, is this advice a "Heads up"   bigsmile

or advice to a head plumber.

Actually there are a number of domestic units available for this very purpose - check the net for manufacturers

Toilet humour?
I always wondered what that was.
