Looking to put in a water softener outdoor here in Florida. Very common for placement outdoors here. Some plumbers drain into soil, but soils here drain poorly. My neighbor's plumber plumbed his drain directly through a nearby clean out cap which I promptly made him remove. This got me thinking that I might be able to drain mine at my nearby clean out. Would it be acceptable to dig around the sanitary clean out, cut and install a tee, run a 3 foot length of PVC w/p-trap with a riser above grade, and dump into the riser with an air gap? I suppose I could place an AAV after the trap if necessary. Any thoughts? Bad idea?
