Water softener regenerating.

[Creek Jenkins]

We are camped for the winter in Texas and I added a water softener this year. My neighbor keeps telling me that I can’t let the water from the water softener regeneration drain on the ground as it will kill the grass. I am careful to run the hose over to our gravel pad where it seems to soak in pretty efficiently. He tells me I should hook it up to the sewer connection and let the flush water drain down the sewer. I’m not real thrilled, however, to have my water softener hooked up to the sewer system, even if it is only for the regeneration. The water here is very hard and almost everyone has a water softener, and I see some of them are hooked up to the sewer through a hose connection on an elbow. Anyone else have this issue?

I regen ours at home, but I'd have no issue doing it the way you are, if the area around it didn't have grass/plants. With the regen there is a lot of salt used and that will kill grass/plant for sure.

I’ve regenerate my Blutech water softener where I just set it next to the sewer hub and let the pencil thin stream of water flow into the open hub, no contact.

I’ve regenerated ours all over the country and just make sure that the run off doesn’t flow into anyone’s site. Never had anyone say anything. It’s salt water. It will brown some grass but I’ve never been in an rv park with quality turf grass.. I wouldn’t worry about it.

I aways do it at home, if you need to regenerate on the go, dump into the sewer, better for everyone, save a tree.

Merry Christmas

I bought a sewer clean-out adapter and connect the output of the softer to the flush port so that it goes down the sewer during regen.

Regen at home not an option we are parked here for 5 months. I tried letting it flow into the open sewer connection and that works really well. Neighbor was happy and I don’t have to worry about a solid connection from the softener to the sewer.
Thanks for the help!
