I spoke with California irrigation supply, awesome people. we talked it thru and she just advised me to keep it simple and don’t over think it. we decided plumbing all the tables for 2 rooms together and running drainage on the wall to the pump room. my pump room is the middle room like a hallway in between the middle grow rooms. its laid out room 1,2, pump, 3, 4. so rooms 1 and 2 will link up and drain to pump and 3 and 4 will do the same in the opposite direction. ill have a sump basin cut into the floor with a sump pump or I may keep it cheap and use a barrel or res with a sump pump in it. from there I can pump it via pvc to my utility room with the drain. there are a couple ways I can do that as well. thinking about utilizing a shelf ( I have 12’ ceilings) so id pump the water from the pump room basin to a reservoir on a shelf about 9’ high then gravity drain it to the drain. I think thats my best choice to keep plumbing out of the way without cutting out drains.
