Pumping station advice

[speccy]

Hi i am looking at a pump station for our extension to pump up to our sewage pipe about 3metres away(very slight incline).

The extension has a guest toilet, washing machine and sink (utility)

I was looking at this :

Mini Micro Sewage Pumping Station - 610mm x 635mm 190 Litres - up to 10m head plus 2 year warranty on pump - Drainstore

Mini Micro Single Sewage Pumping Station – 610mm x 635mm with 2 year warranty on pump – 190 litre This domestic pumping station is used for extensions, garden rooms, small conversions and for pumping sewage up to septic tanks and sewage treatment plants. Sewage Pumping Station includes: 450mm...

There is a 290 litre model almost same price compared to above as it includes high level alarm. Do i need the larger as i guess it needs a bigger hole, if it's going to be pumped anyway im not sure how larger tank helps? TIA

Put the toilet on a plinth.

The one in your link seems to be cheap, maybe too cheap at first glance. The size of the tank that you buy depends on what appliances are connected so best to talk to the seller but yes to the high water level warning alarm.

Ask if the cheap one has a sealed lid to stop bad odours leaking out.

Dont think that you meant to connect the washing m/c to an Access 2..

Why a washing machine has less flow than a sink or a shower or a toilet...they don't seem to care about the source of the water.

Go ask Saniflo but I suspect pressure and tempreture of discharge water might be in the answer.

This is what you call a pumping station.

Bit overkill for the OP's situation though I'd think.
