In response to Re: Need drain for water softener
If you connect the drain in the crawl space using an air gap, there is nothing that would keep sewage from overflowing that same air gap in the event of a drain stoppage. : I want to know how and where is the best place to install a drain for my water softener. My softener is located in my crawl space. The main house drain is located near the softner, could I tap into that and install an air gap at that location? I would need to follow codes for N. Illinois. I also thought of running the drain tubing up to the main floor washing machine drain. Any ideas are appreciated.
