How can I plumb this?

What is the reason you don't want to put the WC water into the sump? I use my basement sump to run the RO reject water and water change water into for almost 10 years and I have never had an issue with either.

Edit: Missed the post where you said you heard negatives about the WC water into the sump. I however have never had an issue

Yeah obviously it would be super easy and convenient to just direct both waste lines into the sump, but I'm a little hesitant with the saltwater corroding the sump. I have a run of the mill rigid pump.

It's encouraging that you have had no issues. Have you replaced your sump in the 10 years? Do you ever rinse it out with freshwater?

Ive only been in the house for 3 years and I replaced the sump pump 2 years ago. Do the sump pumps fail suddenly or is there indication before hand that they fail?

I have replaced the sump pump once in those 10 years but it wasn't because of the saltwater ruining it. It was an old pump that was installed when we purchased the house and the float switch stopped working on it.

Our sump gets a rinse in a way, the waste water from the water softener system when it regenerates is put into the sump for removal but that is about it.

FYI, I put an average of 35 gallons of saltwater into the sump a week.

Thanks for the feedback. Id be putting a fraction of that in. About 6 g/week. Not sure if that how much water triggers the sump. Don't want it to be sitting in saltwater either.

Right now I'm leaning towards RO in sump and Wastwater go through the drain saddle. As mentioned in another post, not sure if I have to account for sewer gasses? If I loop the hose would that act like a p trap?

I would install a proper P-Trap but that is me. Also remember that the reject from your RO unit will rinse or dilute the saltwater in the sump if you went that route. I don't know how much RO you will need to make each week but most RO units have a 2:1 or 3:1 rejection rate so if you are making 6 gallons of RO a week you will be sending 12-18 gallons of waste water into the sump which would dilute the WC water. Just a thought...
