Water softener questions for anyone using a water softener.
1 The only drain in my garage where the water input is located is the drain for the AC, is that an approximate drain?
2. If so, it is too far from my water input. Any suggestions?
3. Any additional advice?
4. I appreciate your input & you are welcome to send a PM.

This info is from 11 years ago (rules may have changed)
1. Possibly, but you will be draining salty water to the outside and this will probably kill of any grass or plants in the area. I had a plumber install the unit and the drain, due to soil conditions I ended up with something similar to a buried French drain with a cap over the top and an air gap.
2. I cannot answer as the softener will typically have restrictions on the length of the drain and its configuration, most do NOT allow a dip in the line which will trap water.
3. Call your local building department and ask about the drain requirements.
