Hopefully the picture attaches below. We’re trying to install a new water softener and the house was pre-plumbed for it. The water loop is obvious and not an issue but the drain line has me concerned. I blew into it and heard/felt it blow freely somewhere (there’s no outside drain end point on the house for it, just the 2 AC drains and water heater dump drains). I added a section of hose and primed the line to see if it would drain.
I was able to get about cups of water into it before the water filled up the upturned hose and stopped draining via gravity. Is this definitely the brine drain for the softener? I don’t know what else it could be for, but I also don’t want to flood the interior wall at 2am during the regen phase.
