I have a newly installed water softener. The main rinse/back flush line goes to a stand pipe shared by the condensate pump for the furnace that is about 36"up and all is fine there. The unit also has an over flow drain on the brine tank. It is 28" from the floor. There is a laundry tub next to it that has a rim hight of 32". The laundry tub has a 1/2" dishwasher inlet with some kind of divider in the main tube just above the P trap that is unused. The inlet is at 16" and the water level in the P trap is about 9" from the floor.
Can I use the inlet on the P trap for the overflow? I am assuming I need some kind of air gap but how much? Can I run a hose to the over flow and simply have it under the nipple so any water would drain in to it? Any other thoughts? There is no other drain or sump pump lower in the house.
Thank-YOU
