water softeners & sump pumps
hi, my 1st time here, sorry if i get a little long...ok, here goes-i just took the water softener hose from the sump pump & put it into the floor drain so that when the softener regenerates it can go down the drain & through the ejector pit & into the septic tank. now i'm getting some water on the ejector plate and around the floor.why? how do i fix??
(the reason i took the hose out of sump pump was that the pipe where the water would come out was shooting next to the a/c outside and the salt started eating the coils on the a/c unit)
are there pros/cons to having the softener go either into the floor drain or the sump pump?? whats the difference?
please don't get too technical-i really have no idea what i'm doing thanks for any info! donna

but if i extend the pipe then the salt water will kill the grass & make mud puddles, not to mention my dog would probably drink the stuff and that couldn't be good.
but why would i be getting water on the floor on top of the ejector plate when the softener regenerates?

Probably because the hose might be forcing a large amount into drain at one time and causing it to overrun and end up on top of lid.
That was a good guess.......and would also mean that a partial drain clog is possible.
