so i thought i had it all figured out and things were working well with my mixing/drain station.
this bar sink works off a utility sump pump which has a float in it and then connects to my house drainage system (somewhere just behind that wall). i have my RODI making water into a not picture 2nd brute, and also into the 1st brute for salt mixing. the RODI waste goes down the drain, as does the AWC waste salt water (about 2g a night)
this was all working for about 3 weeks and last night i went downstairs to a soaked carpet just to the left of the bar, i had about 15 gallons of RODI at this point so some amount of 60g of waste water dumped onto the floor (see white arrow) i dont know where it went wrong, i tested the sump drain, and it works (maybe it got stuck?) are these things ok for saltwater? i fear it might be the short 5' max plumbing behind the wall that is messed up and its behind drywall what not, i didnt finish the basement, former owner did.
question 2, while i figure out whats wrong i dont want to figure out another location for all this, just slightly to the very right of this bar (see arrow) is 1 of the 2 house sump pumps, i have a very high water table and they run ALL the time, even in heat waves. this particular one is "sealed" with some plywood.
i am not too knowledgeable about sump pumps but can i just drill a small hole to fit 2 RODI lines and have my RODI and saltwater waste exit my house directly with no ill effects to the pump?
