Hi,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a little fitting help.
I've bought a water softener to fit under the kitchen sink. I've plumbed in the in/out valves, the overflow is going outside, all is well.
Except I can't work out how to connect the waste pipe. Not sure if all water softeners are like this but the tubing is about 12mm (OD) thick (about 9mm ID).
All it says in the instruction manual is that it needs to have an air gap....and suggests something like a standpipe as per washing machines
As it's going under the sink there is space for another waste - currently we have the sink and the dishwasher plumbed in and there is another blanked off screw, but I don't have space to fit a standpipe.
Any ideas?
Thanks
