Last year we had a bathroom installed in our basement - toilet, laundry tub and shower. All 3 are hooked up to a saniaccess 3 macerating pump. I would like to move our washer and dryer next to the laundry tub. The washer is currently beside the main line out to our septic tank so it is drained into a stand pipe off of that. I am planning to move it to the next room so wondering my best option for the drain;
1) piping from the washing machine up the wall and through the drop ceiling (8-10ft) and then down into the current stand pipe to the main drain. But unsure if that's too far for the washing machine it pump.
2) draining the washing machine into the laundry tub which would be next to it. But unsure if that is okay with the current pump we have. It says it is only good for sinks, toilets, tubs/showers but where the water would drain into the sink first, is that okay?
Open to other ideas. Trying to do this the most cost efficient way since we just had the bathroom installed last year.

# 2 is fine. That's probably the most simple and least expensive way to do it.

Thank you. I couldn't see why that wouldn't work but wanted to check first
