Wow it has a CSA!
I stated the picture you provided was not up to code, a csa means it’s a safe product.
The trap arm which is the piece off of the p-trap you cannot connect it to the 90 like it is, your allowed 1.5” of drop on that trap arm there’s like 3ft in that picture

here you would need a tee-y at the 90
The lift station does require a vent as well but so would that sink
That’s all I’m saying keep posting that wonderful manufacturer specs

Do I have to be just another poster that tells you you're an idiot today?

It's still overkill and not needed.....you're just posting to be a prick. It was a stock photo from and American plumbing company posted to give visual reference. I understand code and product development......that has to work and be sold world wide......stop being a prick and stay in politics.

best answer yet. Small 1/2 hp pump is all you need. I empty flooded basements with one. There is a cleanout right there to stick the hose into and everything

Submersible sump pump in the barrel, hook it up to the cleanout, thats it?

PVC is so easy to work on I would not ever hire a plumber to work on it. You just use primer and glue and they make cutters that ratchet down to cut off pipe that work really well and makes it a lot faster. After that you just assemble and make sure to primer and glue each joint. I hired a plumber one time to fix some PVC pipes that froze and busted, he only fixed half of it before leaving for the day. I had watched him do it so I went and bought the stuff and finished so I'd have water. I haven't hired a plumber since and have done a lot of plumbing.

If you didn't already buy a utility sink save your money and use it toward a pump. Use a tote to pour water into(or a barrel of it's a large volume). Have an automatic pump in there that will detect the water levels and pump the water out. You should be able to fit a garden hose with the end cut off in beside your washer hose. If it won't fit I'd add a T a foot or so down from the washer drain and just copy the washer drain for the hose to drain into. With one already being there to copy it should be easy to figure out.
