This is less a water softener question and more a plumbing question, so I think it belongs in this subforum. Apologies if I'm wrong.
I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone, but want to make sure I'm doing it all right. My two issues are:
Current Condition
Single P trap (washing machine outlet excluded because I'm a slow drawer)
Double P trap
Edit: I saw in another thread about tying the utility sink into the washing machine stand pipe rather than the vent. I don't think this will work in my case purely because of positioning. The planned location for the utility sink is greater than 30" from the laundry stand pipe, but a mere 3' from the vent stack. I think this makes tying into the standpipe a no-go, but should be okay for tying into the vent with a separate P trap.
I'm trying to kill two birds with one stone, but want to make sure I'm doing it all right. My two issues are:
- Poor water softener drainage
- Lack of a utility sink in the laundry room.
- Can I plumb the drain line into the plumbing under the sink and above the p trap (I plan to use this airgap), or do I need a separate p trap for the drain line?
- The horizontal run of this drain line needs to pass through the stud bay that the dryer vent is in. I think I can relocate the dryer vent hole to be higher in the wall to make room, but are there any limits on how close PVC can get to a dryer vent?
