Can I use a sump pump for a kitchen sink?
More info
I’m adding a kitchen into our basement and want to put in a kitchen sink and a dishwasher. Since sewage pumps cost a LOT of money I was wondering if I can get by with a sealed and vented sump pump system. This system would ONLY be used for the kitchen and would drain into the sewer and vent to the roof. My concern is that the pump would become clogged because of the strainer that most pumps have on them. Since food particles are rather small would it be ok to simply remove the strainer and allow these particles to be pumped?
To Mark: I didn’t ask for a link for expensive pumps… I want to know if I can use a sump pump because they’re CHEAPER…
To Mark (Again): NO I’m not oblivious to pump technology… I KNOW I should be using a more expensive sewage pump, but it’s not in the budget right now, and besides… it’s a basement sink that will probably only be used once a week so I don’t really see the point in spending that much money on it.
To everyone: Thank you for your input, I really appreciate it. One more thing though: does anybody have any input on which brand of pump to use? Is there any brand that it would be easier to take the intake screen off of?
