Toilets, Sinks, Showers, Tubs and Disposals - is a macerating toilet good option for us?

The only reason I am considering a macerating toilet in the basement is because we live in an area prone to spring flooding and can get hydrostatic seepage in the worst years.

We have no drains in the basement. Our septic system was converted to city sewer via exterior ejector before we purchased the house.

We have an interior sump pump pit to discharge the drain tile under the house. Previous owner, person who built house in in 1971, plumbed the washing machine, a basement sink and shower (rarely used)to the pump pump pit. This obviously creates sewer gases. The sump pit was vented (by previous owner), but I still do not like having grey water.

I want to disconnect the washer, sink and shower and make a full bath with toilet in the basement. Should we break out the concrete and install a ejector pit or consider the macerating Sani-flo pump system?

What you have to do first is to find out if your local jurisdiction allows the macerating system.

You also need to find out if that underslab water can be drained into the sewer system; most areas don't allow clear water to be pumped into the sanitary sewer. :confused:

FYI... the sump pump has a dedicated drain line to the exterior.
