Hello. I am installing a Fleck 7000 based softener and have a question regarding drains. My softener is being installed on my garage, against an exterior wall. On the opposite side of the wall and about 3' over is a 4" vertical cleanout with a "Contra Costa" valve on on top.
My plan was to tie into the vertical cleanout line with a 4 x 1.5 santee, enter through the stucco wall with 1.5" PVC, run 1.5" PVC horizontally around 3' back to the softener, install a 1.5" p-trap, and then a 2' 1.5" PVC stand pipe. I will run vinyl tubing from the Fleck discharge line to the stand pipe and connect it to the stand pipe with an or something similar. I will maintain a 1/4" per foot of slope on the horizontal runs of 1.5" PVC
Questions:
- Does this seem reasonable?
- Should I run 2" PVC instead of the 1.5"?
- How do I tie the brine tank overflow into the drain?
- Do most people actually connect the overflow?
Thanks all!
