    Water Softener Drain line to sewer - will this work?

    Here is an updated drawing with AAV. Please excuse any inaccuracies. Santee 3x3x1-1/2" leads to 1-1/2" p-trap to air gap to 3/4" PVC. Would I use the AAV in place of the cleanout plug? I understand that the AAV has to be 4" above the horizonal branch.

    Water Softener Drain line to sewer - will this work?

    Thank you the replies. Would an air gap located at the transition to pvc drain line for water softener be enough? Santee or Wye? A plumber suggested a wye. That’s the only reason I ask.

There is an 8" run from the plug to the side of the house where I'd like to run the PVC to air gap. Here is what I've come up with. Please let me...

    Which Clack Valve and filter setup?

    Would the WS1 offer an adequate performance in my situation or would you suggest the additional cost of the WS125? I wasn’t sure if that was implied by your first sentence about the comparison of internal components.

    Thank you, dittohead. Do you know if the Thank you, dittohead. With option 3, is 1.5 cu ft the right size? We use about 200 GPD. Hardess of 15. Also, it looks like the Clack bypass is 1" on the WS125. I understand the valve t obe 1.25". Would the bypass adversely impact water flow?

    1 1/4"Copper to 5800 SXT 1" Connection

    The main water line has a valve with 1 1/4”. Yes, I’d be okay with a push connector. I can’t find one that I’d need. What do you recommend?
