[QUOTE=metoo21;2436697]I'd say that is a bad idea. You'd probably have sewer gases backing up in your softener system. Pipe it to the curb? I wouldn't discharge it onto the driveway as sodium chloride will damage concrete over time. A drainage sump would need to very big as the system uses quite a lot of water during its cycling.

Found this on the Pinellas government website:

Per Florida Building Code, household wastewater of any type (including greywater) must be discharged to the sanitary system. This includes water from sinks, tubs, toilets, water softeners, dishwashers, washing machines and floor drains.

If correct, then it seems it should discharge into a utility sink, or some other city sanitary system connection. Which I don't hear anyone doing.
