Is it permissible to have the condensate drain from a heat pump water heater (5/8" tubing likely) and the back wash waste from the water softener set to discharge into the same trapped standpipe? If so, what size would be required, 1.5"?
Also, is an air gap fixture needed or could I satisfy air gap requirement by using a funnel drain and having the discharge set 1" or so from the top of funnel drain? I would eliminate the 5/8" tubing and use 3/4" PVC for both the water softener and condensate drain, securely mounting to the foundation wall using a90 deg elbow 1" above the stand pipe or funnel drain.
Or would my best course be to use two of the air gap fixtures below?
