Washer discharge configuration
Is there any instance where it is acceptable to route a washing machine discharge into a one way flow valve and have it pump up into the main sewer line?
I am thinking no but wanted to verify with everyone.
I would think recommending a gray water ejector pump would be the proper solution.

Ah, the "check valve solution"

There seems to be no limit to DIY creativity (not even gravity).
