erecting new pool house with toilet - plumbing and electrical tips wanted - kandrewp - 06-08-2009
I plan to build my own pool house with toilet. I am tapping into an existing sewer line coming from the back of my house. I have mapped out the yard for excavation and new line. I am planning to run electrical from my garage (100 feet). Any tips on connecting my sewer line? Do I need a vent in my pool house for one toilet (I plan to have roofing ventilation). Any tips on running the electricals?

If you're asking these questions, you should probably hire professionals to do the utilities.

Yup. Work with an architect to design it. Get a general contractor.

The drop or incline of the sewer line is critical---I used to think the steeper the better, but it is important that it isn't too sleep. so the solids will flow with the liquids.
If you have a big drop--you use elbows and make a vertical drop.
There is the old Plumbers remark---S#!t don't flow uphill, and that will be $100 for the service call.

It depends on if you have to have it inspected or not. If you do, find out what the code requires or you will be re-doing it.
You will need a vent (if you want it to flush). The electrical I would run in the gray PVC electrical tubing. Size will depend on load (what are you going to put in it?).
Plumber's rules;
1. S--t flows down hill
2. Payday is Friday
3. Don't bite your nails

3" sewer line minimum.
Sewer grades to street 1/4 per foot. Minimum and maximum. For a 100' run thats 25" of grade. Is your point of connection (your house sewer lateral) approximately 3' deep?
As far as pool house suggestions I would put in an outside shower, and a wet bar.
Good Luck
