Since we are redoing our cellar anyway, we are considering having a much desired second toilet/shower installed in the cellar. The sewage line is about 3 feet off the cellar floor, which means that we would need one of those sewage ejection systems. We could also use an upflush toilet, but a brief internet search indicates that these are less desireable. Since we are redoing the cellar anyway, we can have the sewage ejection system built right in below ground. Does anyone care to share their experience with either of these — or even just cellar bathrooms in general?

Are the sewage ejection systems allowed under the code? Are they disturbingly noisy? Smelly? Not allowed under the code ? Prone to breaking down?

Any advice or input would be mightily appreciated. (I am keeping my fingers crossed that the feedback will be positive.)
