I gave that some thought before, Lance. Even thought about a giant tub sump in the basement. I just don't want barrels, and I sure don't want to take a chance on a float valve malfunctioning and flooding the basement once it's finished. I wanted a closed system that's point of use.
I could even do that with a 10" or 12" pvc tube up in the joists, using the airgap for backpressure.
At any rate, it's a winter project. I'm way too busy to even be thinking about this right now.
