My water has a PH of 6. Any feel for how long it takes timewise for problems to occcur. The pipes are about 5 years old. I would like to add an acid neutralizer since I have copper pipes. Unfortunately, the only place I have room for it would be in a closet under the stairs where my HW heater is located. The only problem is I do not have a drain for the backwash cycle (5 gpm peak for 13 minutes, once a week at 2 a.m.).
I can install a drain with a trap in the crawlspace. What size would I need? Not sure of the venting requirements.
I do have a bathroom that with a sink that is located about 5 feet away. Can I tie into that drain and share the vent?
I also have a kitchen sink about 15 feet away. I could run the drain line into the kitcken sink cabinet and tie into the drain above the p trap. Is this allowed. I believe the drian is 1.5" and feeds into a 3" drain pipe at the exit id the cabinet. There is a dishwasher and garbage disposal. The seller of the unit recommends 3/8 tubing or I could use 1/2 pvc.
