Hi guys, 1st approach: I need to connect 2nd exhaust vent to existing vent. I have no clue how I can add a pipe to existing vent and if there is code to follow. There is a certain way to connect it. Currently, at the red box, there is a light but I want to switch it to exhaust fan with...

Thank you! I was checking yesterday all RO companies and the Waste output .. OMG that is insane.. some of them has 1:3 output/waste ration. Is there anything out there that does not waste so much water? Or this is standard?

Which which one should I buy then ?

When I tested the water hardness without water softner it was 80 ppm. I set 5 hardness in water softner. It is still new so i am not sure if it will fix the problem next time.

I installed the water softener system finally and thank you all for the help :) .. I will try to post the picture when I get a chance. I ended up running pipe upstairs in WM line and used 001 product for air gap. I am not sure if I should post here or I should post on the new topic but this...

Ok, I bought 001 version and here's what it looks like... I agree that 002 gives that flexibility. Please let me know if you think I should return this part and get 002. There is about 1-inch room space for WM Drain line.

Thank you so much, Reach4 for helping. I will order the "001" as I see a lot of people had success and some mentions it meets the code. I will update the forum on how everything works out.

thanks, Reach4. So which one do you recommend for air gap AG014-001 or 002? .. I am leaning toward AG014-001. Can I use clear 1/2 clear pipe vinyl tubing for the drain from a water softener or I should stick 1/2" pvc for drain all the way? In the clear vinyl, I can the water pumping through or...
