Has anyone here fitted a Nova-Flo before or could give me an idea how much one would cost to install?
It looks like a good product to prevent my little girl flooding the bathroom again!

Hi.
My daughter is installing a Dog bath in the basement of her new dog grooming shop but the waste pipe is 1 metre higher up then the bath. Is there some kind of pump we could install. We are on a budget so the cheaper the better.
