Are up-flush units not legal in those states?

You can use them only when it is required by elevation. Usually remodels, on new construction it is preferable to install a pit for ease of maintenance. The up flushes incorporate a tank above the floor. So when you go to fix the grinder pump you have a full tank of shit sitting in your bathroom. A pit you can install any place in your basement where it is convenient.

Yeah, I've installed a few of them in basement renovations. We've always urged folks to get the extension pipe so that the tank can reside on the other side of a wall behind the toilet.
