You wouldn't rather put in a walk-in shower that could do double duty as a dog bath?


would need to bust the slab to install a drain below grade on a shower

That’s a weird way to spell “toddler pool.”

See, that's the problem with America these days ... you kidnap even one babysitter, and the next thing you know everyone's calling you a babysitter kidnapper.

Adding dog bath to basement.
The concept of trying to figure out how to drain a moderate amount of grey/brown water from down in a hole in the ground (a basement) only once or twice a week makes me happy to not have this worry.

Good luck.

I know to keep everything at a 1/4" slope when moving horizontally


Im not a plumber but that slope is what is required for solids to move down pipe. It would be best to have that slope but if its a little more and you are just moving dirty water and some hair you should be ok.

Again I am not a plumber.

It’s still all gravity fed. Our main is buried too and slopes out away from the house. No turd cutters in our plumbing thank god. So our basement has all the sanitary from the floors above funnel down to it then the sewer main runs along the back wall of the basement catching everything and then turns out of the house out to the street.
