So brainstorming some things for an AWC. Need y'all to pick this idea apart because it seems to simple and cheap to actually work.
55g drum of SW in the garage (30" lower than the rest of the home) with a $30 maxi jet inside. Maxi jet runs through a bulkhead in the drum and dumps into the sump above the waterline.
Sump is drilled on the side with the bottom of the bulkhead right at or maybe 1/4" above "normal" waterline. That bulkhead runs into the crawlspace to a sink drain.
Put the maxijet on a timer to run 5 minutes? A day.
Assuming max water height in the storage is less than the height of the output but head on the maxijet is less than 5 feet, did I just complete a AWC for ~$100 all in and also plumb in an emergency ATO went crazy drain?
