Hello,
Newbie here trying to figure out the best way to drain a water softener in my basement. I had someone come and quote install of a system, and they were just going to drain into the ejector pit which concerned me since I figured the salt water would destroy the pump. I have a hole next to my ejector pit where my humidifier and AC drain into which I'm not quite sure where that goes. Would I be able to drain right into that hole? I can't tell if it's connected to the ejector pit or not.
If it is connected to the ejector pit, I have a main drain line which goes above where I want to put the water softener so maybe that is the best place to connect the drain? I added a few picture of possible drain locations and I wanted to get some input from some experts. I live in Illinois, I don't have the water softener system yet but hoping to buy once I have the draining situation figured out.
Any help is much appreciated!
