According to my GE GXSF23Z01 water softener specs, the max. water outflow occurs during the final regeneration rinse cycle at 1.8 GPM (108 GPH). I have routed the 5/16" ID valve drain hose to a Little Giant VCL-24ULS condensate sump pump (rated 270 GPH @ 1' head) mounted approx. 2 ft. below the softener valve.
In spite of having a capacity rating of 2.5 times the spec.'d water softener max. output flow rate of 108 GPH (1.8 GPM), this pump failed to fully handle the entirety of GE's stated 37 gal. regeneration cycle discharge, leaving approx. 8-10 gal. flowing across my basement floor.
Many thanks to you in advance for any input you may have on my situation, including your recommendation for an adequately sized sump pump.
