Saniflo is a company that makes a Toilet System that does not use gravity. The system is plugged into an electrical outlet. The flushed items are sent to a Macerator, which grinds everything up into a very fine substance. The system features a Pump that then pumps the ground up material up through 3/4 inch pipe toward your existing sewer connection. Depending on which model you select, the pump will pump up the ground up material up to 15 feet and or a combination of out to 150 feet. The advantages of such as product are that the labor costs to put such a system in your home for an additional bathroom or maybe a bathroom outside by your pool are much less. You can even connect a sink or shower drainage pipe to this system, thus rounding out a complete bathroom. Plumbing Wholesalers are your best bet for such a product.
People do it all the time.
I think it's called a reverse gravitational system.
They make a toilet pump system just for conditions like you have, check with you local plumbing supply.
You will need a good plumber and you will need an up flush toilet. They don't work as well as a standard toilet but the do work. My mother installed one in her house a few years ago.
I saw in Mother Earth News a masticating toilet. It chews up the waste and make it easier to dispose of. Don't know where to get it or how much it costs.
You will need to install a sump with an ejector pump in it. It is not terribly expensive or large but will cost a few hundred dollars to have a plumber put it in for you.
an up flush toilet . check with local building supply store
You will need a toilet with a pump. Macerating toilets are the best for this as they grind up the solids. Check on Saniflo toilets on their website.
