Installing a used softener. I have just about everything planned out, except where to run the brine tank overflow line.
The nearest floor drain is about 20 ft away on the other side of a block wall (in the garage).
There's very limited options on where to install the unit in my house.
Without breaking cement and plumbing a drain, the only ideas I have are:
1. Extend the brine line and locate the brine tank in the garage. (Betting there wouldn't be enough suction during regen for this to work...)
2. Locate a bucket and small pump next to the overflow fitting to discharge up and over to a drain.
3. Run a very long run of pex or pvc from the overflow to the floor drain. In order to get past a door way, I need to go the long way.. (50ish ft)..
I know the likelihood of an overflow is low, but I've learned my model softener keeps the brine line pressurized all the time. A simple float is the only thing preventing a flood...
