HI.. and thanks in advance for any help. I want to drain the backwash from my WaterSoftener and Acid Neutralizer to the out side of my house. I have a underground drain that will accept the backwash and take it down a hill away from the house. I read where I should raise the drainage tubes about 12" inside the house to make a "vacuum" of sorts so the water, upon exit, doesn't freeze in winter, and that the tubes should enter the exterior drain in the middle so they don't touch, but empy down the middle, with a "air Gap".
1. Is this a correct method.
2. Can I use a "T" connector and combine both tubes onto one, at the end of the run, prior to leaving the house? In other words, having both Salt (softener) and Calcite (Acid Neutralizer) combine at the end of the run into one tube is safe?
Thanks.
