No Drain for Water Softner

[Kassie ODriscoll]

We our renovating a bathroom that didn't originally have a shower in it. Now that we've moved everything (including putting down new flooring), we decided that it needed a water softener and there's not a drain. Do you all have a solution for that or alternatives?

Thanks for any advice.

Where does your washing machine drain?

Where does your washing machine drain?

It's for an Airbnb apartment and there is no kitchen and no washer/dryer

These are ideas rather than established common ways of handling this. I am not a pro.

• Feed the softener drain to a toe tester spout in the shower? That would be my favorite.
  
• Feed the drain to an air gap on the lavatory cabinet and then send the drainage to a branch tailpiece for the lavatory?

You are supposed to have an air gap. The older instances where I read of feeding the branch tailpiece did not use an air gap.
