I'd love to add a utility sink in the basement next to the washer and dryer.
As you can see, however, the main cast iron drain stack is pretty high off the floor, making connecting a drain to it not very straightforward. I know I can get a pump that would take care of that, but I'm wondering if it would be OK to let the sink drain directly into the sump pit you see there, and then have the sump pump drain it out when necessary. I know the sink would be used a lot, so it's not like the water would be sitting in the pit for a long time. Any thoughts?
