Sump Pump

It would appear that I am moving from Sylmar to Simi Valley, California :-)
While I have a very nice studio and darkroom at my current townhome, the
area around me has become a crime ridden dump! Anyway (putting aside my
anger at lost equity) ....... The new house will require a pump to move the
darkroom sink wash water and general liquid waste over the ceiling and into
the next bathroom's drain pipes.

I've received a lot of advice suggesting that "general" B&W and color
chemistry is fine (if reasonably diluted) in "Home Depot" (general hardware
store) pumps that are rated for "fresh or salt water". These are much
cheaper than the ones sold by chemical supply houses.

Anyone out there have experience with this and an "alt" processes
darkroom?? At this point my main output is platinum/palladium, cyanotype,
silver gelatin, and gum.
