Drain Requirements for Water Softeners

Regenerating softeners discharge water and need a properly designed drain route with an air gap or other protection required by applicable plumbing rules and manufacturer instructions. Drain height, distance, flow, freezing risk, and connection method matter. A loose hose pushed into an unsuitable drain is not a professional plan.
