Water softener drain line question

[Amer Malik]

Looking to add a water softener. My main water line is in detached garage, with no drain near it. In order to reach sewer cleanout, I need to go about 70 feet on the other side of the driveway. Any ideas whether that will work or other ideas of draining the line from water softener.

thanks
Amer

People don't normally run the softener drain to a sewer cleanout. Where does your washing machine discharge?

If you are going to attach it to a sewer cleanout be sure to check with local codes. S traps are typically not allowed so a p-trap with an AAV may work but AAV's are not allowed in many municipalities now. This might be worth paying a plumber to do so as to prevent any potential problems.
