I've got a slight issue that I'm trying to resolve and wondering if any of you guys are running tanks where there isn't a drain available to run the overflow/waste water. My option one is what's called a permeate pump that's used for a/c units to remove the condensation/runoff water that occurs. My option two is to build something with a float switch and a pump that can handle the head pressure. Thanks in advance for any help!

If you wanna do it ghetto you can always use a sump pump with a float switch in a bucket. Once it fills up it'll pump the bucket till it deactivates the flow switch, you can run the discharge hose into a laundry sink or toilet

what exactly is the issue? maybe its not that bad. I run a drain line thru my heater return vent to the basement then over to a drain. the option you posted isn't bad seen it done many times.
